In his philosophical memoir Acting Out (2009) studied English and memorised modern poetry but the book that really drew his attention was Plato’s Phaedrus In this dialogue between Socrates and Phaedrus a theory of learning that states the acquisition of new knowledge is just a process of remembering what we once knew in a previous life Caught in an endless cycle of death and rebirth we forget what we know each time we are reborn this idea of learning as recollection would become less spiritual and more material: learning and memory are tied inextricably to technics Through the tools we use – including books archives – we can store and preserve vast amounts of knowledge Lyotard would oversee Stiegler’s master’s thesis after his eventual release; Derrida would supervise his doctoral dissertation which was reworked and published a year later as the first volume in his Technics and Time series With the help of these philosophers and their novel ideals Stiegler began to reshape his earlier political commitment to Marxist materialism seeking to account for the ways that new technologies shape the world a growing number of philosophers and political theorists began calling into question the immediacy of our lived experience The world around us was no longer seen by these thinkers as something that was simply given as it had been for phenomenologists such as Immanuel Kant and Edmund Husserl The world instead presented itself as a built environment composed of things such as roads all made possible by political institutions reality also appeared to be a construction a former student of Althusser at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris developed a theory of power that functions in a similar way In Discipline and Punish (1975) and elsewhere Foucault argues that social and political power is not concentrated in individuals but is produced by ‘discourses Foucault’s insight was to show how power shapes every facet of the world from classroom interactions between a teacher and student to negotiations of a trade agreement between representatives of two different nations power is constituted in and through material practices rather than something possessed by individual subjects We don’t simply ‘use’ our digital tools – they enter and pharmacologically change us Stiegler explains that he was able to move beyond Foucault with the help of his mentor Derrida’s concept of the pharmakon Derrida began developing the idea as he explored how our ability to write can create and undermine (‘cure’ and ‘poison’) an individual subject’s sense of identity the act of writing – itself a kind of technology – has a Janus-faced relationship to individual memory Though it allows us to store knowledge and experience across vast periods of time writing disincentivises us from practising our own mental capacity for recollection The written word short-circuits the immediate connection between lived experience and internal memory but also ‘poisons’ our cognition by limiting our abilities Stiegler began applying this idea to new media technologies which led to the development of a concept he called pharmacology – an idea that suggests we don’t simply ‘use’ our digital tools they enter and pharmacologically change us The internet presents us with a massive archive of formatted Sites such as Wikipedia contain terabytes of knowledge accumulated and passed down over millennia this exchange of unprecedented amounts of information enables the dissemination of an unprecedented amount of misinformation This kind of polyvalence led Stiegler to think more deliberately about technics rather than technology there are inherent risks in thinking in terms of the latter: the more ubiquitous that digital technologies become in our lives the easier it is to forget that these tools are social products that have been constructed by our fellow humans the paths we take to get from point A to point B all of these aspects of daily life have been reshaped by new technologies and the humans that produce them Yet we rarely stop to reflect on what this means for us Stiegler believed this act of forgetting creates a deep crisis for all facets of human experience we lose our all-important capacity to imagine alternative ways of living In the English-speaking world, Stiegler is best known for his first book Technics and Time he highlights the vital link between our understanding of the technologies we use and our capacity to imagine the future ‘The object of this work is technics,’ he writes ‘apprehended as the horizon of all possibility to come and of all possibility of a future.’ He views our relationship with tools as the determining force for all future possibilities; technics is the defining feature of human experience one that has been overlooked by philosophers from Plato and Aristotle down to the present Husserl and other thinkers asked important questions about consciousness and lived experience (phenomenology) and the nature of truth (metaphysics) or knowledge (epistemology) they failed to account for the ways that technologies help us find – or guide us toward – answers to these questions ‘Technics is the unthought,’ according to Stiegler To further stress the importance of technics Stiegler turns to the creation myth told by the Greek poet Hesiod in Works and Days Zeus asks the Titan Epimetheus to distribute individual talents to each species Epimetheus gives wings to birds so they can fly whose name (according to Stiegler) means the ‘forgetful one’ in Greek presenting it to humans in place of a biological talent The difference with Hesiod’s story is that technics here provides a material basis for human experience server farms and even psychotropic drugs possess the capacity to poison or cure our world presents opportunities for positive or negative relationships with tools ‘But where the danger lies,’ writes the poet Friedrich Hölderlin in a quote Stiegler often turned to ‘also grows the saving power.’ While Derrida focuses on the ability of the written word to subvert the sovereignty of the individual subject Stiegler widens this understanding of pharmacology to include a variety of media and technologies server farms and even psychotropic drugs possess the pharmacological capacity to poison or cure our world and Technological development can destroy our sense of ourselves as rational leading to widespread suffering and destruction But tools can also provide us with a new sense of what it means to be human leading to new modes of expression and cultural practices Duchamp employed the new temporal perspectives made possible by photography and cinema to paint a radically different kind of portrait Inspired by the camera’s ability to capture movement Duchamp paints a nude model who appears in multiple instants at once like a series of time-lapse photographs superimposed onto each other an icon of modernity and the resulting entanglement of art and industrial technology Technical innovations are never without political and social implications for Stiegler may have standardised classical musical performances after its invention in the late 1800s but it also contributed to the development of jazz a genre that was popular among musicians who were barred from accessing the elite world of classical music Black musicians such as the pianist and composer Duke Ellington were able to learn their instruments by ear without first learning to read musical notation The phonograph’s industrialisation of musical performance paradoxically led to the free-flowing improvisation of jazz performers Technics draws our attention to the world-making capabilities of our tools while reminding us of the constructed nature of our technological reality Stiegler’s capacious understanding of technics encompassing everything from early agricultural tools to the television set Stiegler founded the Institute for Research and Innovation an organisation at the Centre Pompidou in Paris devoted to exploring the impact digital technology has on contemporary society Stiegler’s belief in the power of technology to shape the world around us has often led to the charge that he is a techno-determinist who believes the entire course of history is shaped by tools and machines It’s true that Stiegler thinks technology defines who we are as humans but this process does not always lock us into predetermined outcomes it simultaneously provides us with a material horizon of possible experience Stiegler’s theory of technics urges us to rethink the history of philosophy art and politics in order that we might better understand how our world has been shaped by technology And by acquiring this historical consciousness he hopes that we will ultimately design better tools using technology to improve our world in meaningful ways the developers of Beauty.AI advertised the contest as an opportunity for beauty to be judged in a way that was free of prejudice was that the tool they had designed exhibited an overwhelming preference for white contestants The digital economy doesn’t always offer desirable alternatives as former ways of working and living are destroyed In Automatic Society, Volume 1: The Future of Work (2016), Stiegler shows how big data can standardise our world by reorganising work and employment Digital tools were first seen as a disruptive force that could break the monotonous rhythms of large industry but the rise of flexible forms of employment in the gig economy has created a massive underclass A new proletariat of Uber drivers and other precarious workers now labour under extremely unstable conditions They are denied even the traditional protections of working-class employment Stiegler suggests that the growth of widespread surveillance tools is at odds with the pharmacological promise of new technology they are also used to deny us worlds of possible experience Our very sense of who we are is shaped and reshaped by the tools we have at our disposal is that when we pay too much attention to our tools rather than how they are developed and deployed merely describing the technological world on its own terms and making it even harder to untangle the effects of digital technologies and our everyday experiences By encouraging us to pay closer attention to this world-making capacity Stiegler is showing us what else is possible EmailSavePostShareSYNDICATE THIS ESSAYSaveessay Like today’s large language models, 16th-century
