In particular it examines Simondon's original informational ontology, as developed from a synthesis of Cybernetics, thermodynamics and French epistemology, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book goes on to delineate the role this ontology plays in developing an original account of individuation in the physical, biological and psycho-social regimes. This is done, in part, through reading Simondon with and against other figures in these fields such as Merleau-Ponty and Stuart Kauffman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, Mills explores Simondon's contribution to epistemology and invention, including an analysis of his important theories of the image-cycle and transindividuality. He also examines Simondon's influence on several contemporary thinkers, including Bernard Stiegler and Bruno Latour, before exploring the relevance of Simondon's work for theorising contemporary media technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Intl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057268179184,"sku":"9781783481491","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783481491","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
