OR, WHAT'S THE USE OF SIMONDON'S ONTOLOGICAL AFFECT IN PLANETARY POLYCRISIS. aug: au: Duvernoy, Russell affil: King's University College at Western University su: Simondon, Gilbert, 1924-1989 Ontology Existentialism Crises Philosophers sug: subj: Simondon, Gilbert, 1924-1989 Ontology Existentialism Crises Philosophers ab: Amor mundi at present must learn to love through the dissolution of a dominant world without succumbing to the resentments and reactionary fears that might accompany such passage. This paper argues that Gilbert Simondon's account of affect is relevant for this challenge. Functioning in relational mediation with reality prior to its consolidation into a normative lifeworld, Simondon's affect clariies the dynamics of the present without providing a conclusive solution. The article begins discussing two key existential dynamics of betweenness: can we love a world while also letting it end, and can we think amor mundi without necessitating a single, univocal sense of world? The paper then turns to a detailed discussion of Simondon's affect to establish how its key features respond to these problematics. Instead of a love of or for world, Simondon's account points towards a love of relation. L'amor mundi doit aujourd'hui apprendre à aimer malgré la dissolution d'un monde dominant, sans succomber aux ressentiments et aux peurs réactionnaires qui pourraient accompagner une telle transition. Cet article soutient que la conception de l'affect chez Gilbert Simondon est pertinente face à ce déi. Fonctionnant dans une médiation relationnelle avec la réalité antérieure à sa consolidation en un monde vécu normatif, l'affect chez Simondon éclaire les dynamiques du présent sans pour autant apporter de solution déinitive. L'article commence par aborder deux dynamiques existentielles clés de l'entre-deux: comment aimer un monde tout en acceptant sa in Et peut-on penser l'amor mundi sans recourir à une conception unique et univoque du monde L'article se penche ensuite sur une analyse détaillée de l'affect chez Simondon ain d'établir comment ses principales caractéristiques répondent à ces problématiques. Plutôt qu'un amour du monde ou pour le monde, la conception de Simondon met en lumière un amour de la relation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy / Revue Canadienne de Philosophie Continentale is the property of Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
