BUILES, Isabella. From Isomorphism to Isodynamism in Gilbert Simondon’s Philosophy. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2024, n.69, pp.323-349.  Epub Aug 16, 2024. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v690.2520.

In this paper, I present the step from isomorphism to isodynamism in Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy. For this, I first explain the isomorphism argument and some of its implications and critiques. Then, I discuss some elements of Simondon’s individuation theory regarding being and becoming. Lastly, I analyze this change from isomorphism to isodynamism and I offer examples of some possible derivations of isodynamism. Basically, this process involves a change in perspective, from structural similarity to operational analogy-for example, between different levels of being (physicochemical, biological and psychosocial).

Keywords : isomorphism; isodynamism; Simondon.
