دانلود کتاب The Philosophy of Simondon: Between technology and individuation

The last two decades have seen a massive increase in the scholarly interest in technology, and have provoked new lines of thought in philosophy, sociology and cultural studies. New disciplines such as cyber-culture studies and Informatics have been sprung up, and the ideas of Simondon are central to these debates. Organized into three parts, the first provides introductory material on Simondon, and positions him a philosopher of technology. The second part describes Simondon's theory of individuation, including his crystalline ontology, and the third offers a bridge between these two concerns, and explores how they are related. Simondon is an essential reference point for anyone seeking to understand the shape of contemporary thinking in relation to the most pressing issues of our time - technology, nature and the future of humanity.
