La aporía de la técnica y la división empírico-trascendental en La técnica y el tiempo de Bernard Stiegler

Abstract

In Technics and Time, Bernard Stiegler seeks to revitalize the philosophy of technology in its anthropological and political dimensions, establishing technics as the guiding thread between the problems of consciousness, time, materiality, and the human. On the other hand, though, Stiegler restores a metaphysics of a traditional and conservative character that re-establishes fi rm divisions between nature and artificiality, human and animal, and living and non-living. In this article, I propose to examine how this conservative ontology is established as the necessary condition of the traditional (reductionist, deterministic, and essentialist) views of technics that Stiegler proposes.
