The Thought of Bernard Stiegler (eBook, PDF)

Capitalism, Technology and the Politics of Spirit

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive account of the work of Bernard Stiegler, focusing on his thought on hyperindustrial societies and the development of technological systems through which the social, economic and political life of human beings has been transformed. Exploring the reciprocal development of technical instruments and human faculties in the digital, informatic and biotechnological programmes of hyperindustrial societies, the author develops Stiegler's idea of technology as a Pharmakon: a network of systems that provoke both existential despair and unprecedented modes of aesthetic, literary and philosophical creativity that can potentially revitalize political culture.
