Philosophy

This new translation of four revised radio interviews, conducted in December 2002 at France Culture with lie During, is the best introduction to Stiegler's Time and Technics series. This collection includes a new interview conducted specially for this volume and an interview with Artpress from 2001. In Philosophising By Accident, Stiegler introduces some of the key arguments about the technical constitution of the human and its relation to politics, aesthetics and economics. He reads philosophical texts from the perspective of his controversial thesis about the three types of memory and speaks about concepts central to his later works, such as synchrony/diachrony, grammatisation and the industrial temporal object.

Reviews for Philosophising by Accident: Interviews with Elie During

Philosophising by Accident provides not only the most accessible introduction to the work of Bernard Stiegler, but perhaps also the most seductive. The interviews brilliantly interweave his re-readings of the history of philosophy and its 'repression' of technics with glimpses into the unique biography of one of the major intellectual figures of the twenty-first century.--Gerald Moore, Durham University
