Simondon is a secret password amongst certain discussions taking place within philosophy today. His thought has been championed by noted thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze. As a philosopher of technology, Simondon’s work has a place at the forefront of current thinking in media, technology, psychology and philosophy with complex accounts of man’s relationship to technology and the realm which continues to form itself via this tension between man and his technical universe. In this introduction to Simondon’s thinking, the reader has access to the grounding of one of the most fundamental and critical questions that has been the focus of philosophy for millennia: the relationship between man and animal.
