Time, Technology and Environment - An Essay on the Philosophy of Nature

Marco Altamirano critiques the modern concept of nature to chart a new trajectory for the philosophy of nature. He goes on to deploy conceptual resources excavated from Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault and Leroi-Gourhan to show how technology, which bypasses the nature-artifice distinction, is an essential dimension of the philosophy of nature.
