In this important new book, Jacques Derrida talks with Bernard Stiegler about the effect of teletechnologies on our philosophical and political moment. Improvising before a camera, the two philosophers are confronted by the very technologies they discuss and so are forced to address all the more directly the urgent questions that they raise. What does it mean to speak of the present in a situation of "live" recording? How can we respond, responsibly, to a question when we know that the so-called "natural" conditions of expression, discussion, reflection, and deliberation have been...

Max Weber famously argued that the rise of capitalism in early modern Europe was premised on the emergence of a distinctive set of attitudes - including the pursuit of profit for its own sake - which he called 'the spirit of capitalism'. Today, when capitalism has spread across the globe, the spirit of capitalism would appear to reign supreme.
In this important book Bernard Stiegler takes a very different view: what we are witnessing today is not the triumph of the spirit of capitalism but rather its demise, as our contemporary 'hyper-industrial' societies become increasingly...

Disorientation is the first publication in English of the second volume of Technics and Time, in which French philosopher Bernard Stiegler engages in a close dialogue with Husserl, Derrida, and other philosophers who have devoted their energies to technics, such as Heidegger and Simondon.The author's broad intent is to respond to Western philosophy's historical exclusion of technics and techniques from its metaphysical questionings, and in so doing to rescue critical and philosophical thinking. For many years, Stiegler has explored the origins and philosophical, ethical, and...

Acting Out is the first appearance in English of two short books published by Bernard Stiegler in 2003. In How I Became a Philosopher, he outlines his transformation during a five-year period of incarceration for armed robbery. Isolated from what had been his world, Stiegler began to conduct a kind of experiment in phenomenological research. Inspired by the Greek stoic Epictetus, Stiegler began to read, write, and discover his vocation, eventually studying philosophy in correspondence with Gerard Granel who was an important influence on a number of French philosophers,...

The catastrophic economic, social and political crisis of our time calls for a new and original critique of political economy - a rethinking of Marx's project in the very different conditions of twenty-first century capitalism.

Bernard Stiegler works systematically through the current crisis in education and family relations resulting from the mesmerizing power of marketing technologies. He contends that the greatest threat to social and cultural development is the destruction of young people's ability to pay critical attention to the world around them. This phenomenon, prevalent throughout the first world, is the calculated result of technical industries and their need to capture the attention of the young, making them into a target audience and reversing the relationship between adults and children. Taking...

Stiegler argues that today the proletarian must be reconceptualized as the economic agent whose knowledge and memory are confiscated by machines. This new sense of the term 'proletarian' is best understood by reference to Plato's critique of exteriorized memory. By bringing together Plato and Marx, Stiegler can show how a generalized proletarianization now...

Seit der Aufklärung gilt das Idealbild vom mündigen Individuum, das Verantwortung für sein Handeln trägt. Durch die Übermacht der neuen Medien und den globalen Kapitalismus wird jedoch die Fähigkeit, Verantwortung zu übernehmen, systematisch zerstört. Auch Erwachsene sind tatsächlich keine mündigen Individuen, sondern verharren in einem Zustand der Unreife, der es ihnen unmöglich macht, die jüngere Generation zu Verantwortungsbewußtsein zu erziehen. Ein Generationenvertrag wird aufgelöst und das Leben auf das Lustprinzip, die bloße Gegenwart, reduziert, somit wird Vergangenheit...

In Die Logik der Sorge beschrieb Bernard Stiegler den epochalen Wandel des Erziehungssystems: Werte und Wissen werden nicht länger von einer Generation zur nächsten, sondern von den Medien vermittelt. Diese bringen jedoch keine mündigen Bürger hervor, sondern Konsumenten, die die Fähigkeit verlieren, Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Der Diagnose folgt nun die Auseinandersetzung mit Foucaults Konzept der Biopolitik. Nur wenn es uns gelingt, so folgert Stiegler, Bildung neu zu denken, wahren wir die Chance, daß die "Programmindustrien" wegen ihrer verheerenden psychischen Folgen eines Tages...
