Honouring the memory of the late Bernard Stiegler, this edited collection presents a broad spectrum of contributions that provide a complex and coherently articulated image of Bernard Stiegler''s thought which reached beyond the boundaries of academic, artistic and experimental techno-scientific enclaves where he had been originally received. Stiegler was a contemporary philosopher whose work reflected multiple different facets including theorization, social diagnosis, planning, practical and territorial experimentation, politics, as well as aesthetics. Placing emphasis on this multi-dimensional nature, the book separates itself into parts, its first section focusing on the conditions of human life in general, and its foundational intermittence. These discussions are then followed by fascinating engagements with the philosophical approach of organology, explorations of practical organological propositions that Stiegler has set out, and the thinker''s reinterpretation of Husserl''s description of internal time consciousness.Through detailed examinations of Stiegler''s remarks on spirit, philosophy and technicity, as well as a comprehensive account of its unifying themes, the essays in this volume highlight the ways in which Stiegler opens up the issue of the catastrophic epoch in which we live, and the future of art, work, philosophy, and spirit that is emerging from that epoch.>
