HEREDIA, Juan Manuel. About the Reading and Conceptualization of Cybernetics in Simondon’s Philosophy. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2019, n.56, pp.273-310. ISSN 0188-6649. https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i56.998.
This paper deals with the conceptual and historical-intellectual relationship that links Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy with cybernetics and information theory. For this purpose, it deploys three lines of analysis: (a) the French reception of cybernetics and information theory, and the positioning of Simondon in that conceptual field; (b) the transcendent meaning that Simondon assigns to them, as they express a new technological era of the twentieth century; (c) Simondon’s criticisms of cybernetics and information theory, which tend to dismantle the nineteenth-century remains that affect them from within and to think a new concept of genesis.
