Bernard Stiegler Livres

Paul Valéry, pressentant la catastrophe où menait le nazisme, constatait dès 1939 une "baisse de la valeur esprit". Aurait-il pu imaginer dans quel état de déchéance généralisée tomberait l'humanité quelques décennies plus tard - là où nous en sommes ? En 1939, seulement 45% des Français écoutent la radio, et la télévision n'existe pas encore. En ce début de XXIesiècle, les objets communicants poursuivent les temps de cerveaux disponibles où qu'ils aillent, du lever au coucher. Un capitalisme s'est imposé, que l'on dit tantôt "culturel", tantôt "cognitif", mais qui est avant tout jusqu'à présent l'organisation ravageuse d'un populisme industriel tirant parti de toutes les évolutions technologiques pour faire du siège de l'esprit un simple organe réflexe : un cerveau rabattu au rang d'ensemble de neurones, un cerveau sans conscience. En 2005, le Medef réunissait son université d'été sous la bannière du "réenchantement du monde". Ce livre propose de le prendre au mot : réenchanter le monde, c'est nécessairement revisiter et réévaluer le rôle de l'esprit dans l'organisation de l'économie.

Technics and Time, 3 furthers Stiegler's critique of technics, working (back) through Kant in order to examine the nature of cinematic time relative to phenomenology and hypertechnology.

In 1944 Horkheimer and Adorno warned that industrial society turns reason into rationalization, and Polanyi warned of the dangers of the self-regulating market, but today, argues Stiegler, this regression of reason has led to societies dominated by unreason, stupidity and madness.

In this important new book, the leading cultural theorist and philosopher Bernard Stiegler re-examines the relationship between politics and aesthetics in our contemporary hyperindustrial age.

Iinfluential French Philosopher Bernard Stiegler lays out his thinking on capitalism, technology and culture and his Ars Industrialis organisation.

In this important new book, leading cultural theorist and philosopher Bernard Stiegler re-examines the relationship between politics and art in the contemporary world. Our hyper-industrial epoch represents what Stiegler terms a 'katastroph of the sensible'.

In July 2014 the Belgian newspaper Le Soir claimed that France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland and the United States may lose between 43 and 50 per cent of their jobs within ten to fifteen years.

Technics and Time 2: Disorientation continues Stiegler's interrogation of prosthetic and ortho-thetic memory in light of the crisis that arises when speed and delay are irreconcilable, the crisis of human being itself.

Stiegler is one of the most original and important philosophers and cultural theorists in France today. * His work is at the interface of philosophy and technology, so would appeal not only to those studying Philosophy, but media and cultural studies, and literary studies.

Aristotle contrasted beings formed by nature with man-made objects, which did not have the source of production within themselves. This book, the first of three volumes, develops an innovative assessment whereby the technical object can be seen as having an essential, distinct temporality and dynamics of its own.
