The evolutionary turn in the philosophy of technology
This paper advocates for an “evolutionary turn” in the philosophy of technology, emphasizing the biological dimension of our relation to technology. Rather than replacing the well-established empirical turn, this approach aims to enrich it by addressing overlooked aspects of the role played by technology in human evolution. First, I argue that adopting an evolutionary viewpoint strengthens the relationship between philosophy and scientific practi…
How to Design Concepts: On the Media of Philosophy
In his insightful commentary on our article “Understanding Philosophical Media”, Ritter welcomes the call to take seriously the technologies and media of philosophy, while also voicing criticism and scepticism. In this short reply, we respond by engaging with what we consider to be his three most probing questions: (1) How do media actually mediate philosophy? (2) Is language the best philosophical medium? (3) What is philosophy
Understanding Philosophical Media: From Philosophy of Technology to “Technologies of Philosophy”
In this paper, we introduce the issue of the “technologies of philosophy” into the philosophy of technology discourse. To this end, we rework some assumptions in the contemporary philosophy of technology, particularly postphenomenology, building on the idea that technology is essential to human existence. In Sect. 1, we outline three core roles technology plays in the human lifeform: technological support, mediation and constitution. In Sect. 2, …
Multistability and Derrida’s Différance: Investigating the Relations Between Postphenomenology and Stiegler’s General Organology
In this paper, in the first place, I aim to enquire into Bernard Stiegler’s critical appropriation of his mentor Jacques Derrida’s notion of différance, emphasizing how Stiegler’s philosophy of technology stems from an original interpretation of the main tenets of deconstruction. From this perspective, I will investigate Stiegler’s definition of technology as tertiary retention, i.e., exosomatized, artificial memory interrelating with biological …
Cosmotechnics From an Anthropotechnological Perspective
Yuk Hui’s concept of cosmotechnics provides us with an excellent theoretical device to investigate the role of technology in relation to a culture’s self-understanding. This paper, in the first place, aims to contextualise Hui’s reflexion on cosmotechnics within the broader field of contemporary philosophy of technology, outlining its discerning potential in undermining the outworn, Western dichotomy between nature and culture. In this spirit, it…
