publication · 2026-04-23

French philosopher Bernard Stiegler published the first volume of 'La Technique et le Temps – La Faute d'Epiméthée' in 1994. The book engages with thinkers of technology such as Leroi-Gourhan, Simondon, and Gille, and includes an examination of Heidegger and Husserl. Tracing back to human origins, Stiegler argues that the question of technology must be addressed with full rigor.
