Description
Book SynopsisTechnics and Time 2: Disorientation continues Stiegler's interrogation of prosthetic and ortho-thetic memory in light of the crisis that arises when speed and delay are irreconcilable, the crisis of "human being" itself.
Trade Review"
Disorientation, a most important piece of scholarly work, continues and adds to the development of the arguments set forth in the preceding volume of
Technics and Time, putting a whole new set of clarifications into place. It will interest philosophers in general and should become required reading for anyone interested in cognitive science."—Rodolphe Gasché
"Bernard Stiegler's ambition for
Technics and Time 2: Disorientation is exhilaratingly immodest: he promises to offer nothing less than a history of temporality, from prehistoric man to the present day . . . Stiegler makes a convincing case for the vital importance of the politics of memory in the 21st century."—Julian Brigstocke,
