'Since publication of Technics and Time, 2, it has been clear that Bernard Stiegler understood, more incisively than almost all of his contemporaries, that the technological is political. Howells and Moore have assembled an impressive range of commentaries around that idea, in all its complexity, tracing the contours of a rich field that gives Stiegler's thinking its due, and laying out the terms for future discussion.'

'Since publication of Technics and Time, 2, it has been clear that Bernard Stiegler understood, more incisively than almost all of his contemporaries, that the technological is political. Howells and Moore have assembled an impressive range of commentaries around that idea, in all its complexity, tracing the contours of a rich field that gives Stiegler's thinking its due, and laying out the terms for future discussion.' David Wills, Brown University The first collection of critical essays on the work of Bernard Stiegler Bernard Stiegler has recently emerged as one of the most significant and original thinkers in the new generation of French philosophers following Derrida and Deleuze. Drawing on art, anthropology, economics, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, politics and sociology, the essays in this collection, by a range of world-class specialists, are all united around Stiegler's key concept of technics, which, he argues, constitutes what it is to be human. Stiegler is revealed as a thinker at the forefront of our contemporary concerns with consumerism, technology, inter-generational division, political apathy and economic crisis. His ambitious project goes beyond these sources of social distress to uncover and examine precisely 'what makes life worth living'. Christina Howells is Professor of French at the University of Oxford and is a Fellow of Wadham College. Gerald Moore is Lecturer in French at Durham University.
