On The Mode Of Existence Of Technical Objects by Gilbert Simondon
Presents a philosophy of technology in which technical objects possess a distinct mode of existence, developing through processes of individuation rather than serving merely as instruments. It shows how inventions evolve from abstract to concrete via concretization within associated milieus and ensembles, linking technical, social, and natural dimensions. Critiquing cultural alienation from machines, it calls for a pedagogy that integrates technical culture with human values, situating invention, evolution, and transduction at the core of human–technical coevolution.
