Overcoming Simondonian Alienation: A Critique of the Dichotomy between the Psycho-physical and the Politico-economic.
This paper engages in an interpretation and critique of Simondon's approach to technical objects through his concept of alienation. I begin with his argument for why the fundamental source of alienation is "psycho-physical" and explain his critique of politico-economic analyses of alienation. I then...

I begin with his argument for why the fundamental source of alienation is "psycho-physical" and explain his critique of politico-economic analyses of alienation. I then explain his proposal for reducing alienation by rethinking work as "technical activity." I then argue that while Simondon's analyses of the internal functionality of technical objects provide important contributions to the philosophy of technology, he also overemphasizes the psycho-physical and in turn underestimates the role of politico-economic factors in the ontogenesis of technical objects and production of alienation. Both the psychophysical and politico-economic, I claim, must be thought together as necessarily interconnected conditions of the ontogenesis of technical objects. On that basis, it becomes possible to engage in philosophical critique of and education about the inner functionality of contemporary technologies and their accompanying risks. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Techné: Research in Philosophy & Technology is the property of Philosophy Documentation Center and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
