Logos, tekhnē, philosophia

Catalog description

Today, Western thinking forms the technoscientific apparatus of societies of hyper-control, built on the foundation of ubiquitous and reticular computing. This amounts to what Martin Heidegger called Gestell, which imposes itself as the digitalized merging of science and technology. We find ourselves confronted forcefully (as what the Greeks called ubris) with the question of the status of technics with respect to knowledge in all its forms. It has become crucial to understand how and why from its birth, with Plato, philosophy has made technics unthinkable thereby establishing the unthought that then comes to constitute the threat of the Anthropocene.
