内容简介
······

Few thinkers have been as influential upon current discussions and theoretical practices in the age of media archaeology, philosophy of technology, and digital humanities as the French thinker Gilbert Simondon. Simondon’s prolific intellectual curiosity led his philosophical and scientific reflections to traverse a variety of areas of research, including philosophy, psychology, the beginnings of cybernetics, and the foundations of religion. For Simondon, the human/machine distinction is perhaps not a simple dichotomy. There is much we can learn from our technical objects, and while it has been said that humans have an alienating rapport with technical objects, Simondon takes up the task of a true thinker who sees the potential for humanity to uncover life-affirming modes of technical objects whereby we can discover potentiality for novel, healthful, and dis-alienating rapports with them. For Simondon, by way of studying its genesis, one must grant to the technical object the same ontological status as that of the aesthetic object or even a living being. His work thus opens up exciting new entry points into studying the human’s rapport with its continually changing technical reality. This first complete English-language translation of Gilbert Simondon’s groundbreaking and influential work finally presents to Anglophone readers one of the pinnacle works of France’s most unique thinkers of technics.

在许煜老师的课逼迫着读完了，但是也没有完全理解，因为我的逻辑能力实在是太糟糕。

80年出的法语版，2017年才有英译… 论内容，快2021年了有些内容其实已经或显或隐地蕴含在控制论和很多复杂系统里了，比如凝聚态和金融。但我还是很喜欢这个有趣的视角，Novelty is more important than correctness. 建议做工业化、信息化理论研究的翻译引进Yuk Hui 和 G. Simondon的著作

条理和架构都很清晰 这本和主博士论文构成了西蒙东哲学的主要框架 他之后的各种讲课稿和文章是基于这个框架的内容扩充

A must read of Simondon which he articulates his operative thinking and relational thinking in terms of technical objects.
