Stiegler brings together key concepts from Plato, Freud, Derrida and Simondon to argue that the human is ‘invented’ through technics rather than a product of purely biological evolution. Stiegler is a thinker at the forefront of our contemporary concerns with consumerism, technology, inter-generational division, political apathy and economic crisis. His ambitious project is to go beyond these sources of social distress to uncover and examine precisely ‘what makes life worth living’.Key FeaturesThe first serious collection of essays on Bernard Stiegler, one of the most important of a new generation of French philosophersA truly world-class list of international contributors, including the most prominent specialists on Stiegler and specialists on 20th and 21st-century poststructuralism, who integrate Stiegler into the broader context of French and continental thought and social theoryInterdisciplinary approach that draws on philosophy and art, anthropology, economics, media studies, cultural studies, politics and sociology, united around Stiegler's key concept of technicsWritten in a style suitable for students and academics alikeContributorsDan Ross • Stephen Barker • Michael Lewis • Christopher Johnson • Ian James • Gerald Moore • Tania Espinoza • Christina Howells • Oliver Davis • Richard Beardsworth • Serge Trottein • Sophie Fuggle • Ben Roberts • Miguel de Beistegui • Patrick Crogan • Martin Crowley"
