FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description These 17 essays covers all aspects of Bernard Stieglers work, from poststructuralism, anthropology and psychoanalysis to his work on the politics of memory, libidinal economy, technoscience and aesthetics, keeping a focus on his key theory of technics throughout.

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 Stieglers thinking its due, and laying out the terms for future discussion.David Wills, Brown UniversityThe first collection of critical essays on the work of Bernard StieglerBernard Stiegler has recently emerged as one of the most significant and original thinkers in the new generation of French philosophers following Derrida and Deleuze.
