Bernard Stiegler and the Organological Health

Abstract

The paper aims to trace a thematic path through the integral work of Bernard Stiegler, focusing on the conception of social health and its relationship with contemporary technologies elaborated by the French philosopher by paying particular attention to the concepts of grammatization, tertiary retention, pharmacology, organology and psychic, collective and technical individuation. In this tour, the contributions of authors such as Derrida, Simondon and Canguilhem stand out, whose perspectives are taken up and resemantized by Stiegler within the framework of a philosophy characterized by a clear political and diagnostic posture. The analyzes of Stiegler's first essays, from Technique and Time I, as well as of the intermediate stage of his thought, are developed in order to make explicit the theoretical stakes of the last phase, dramatically interrupted, in which the philosopher of the pharmakon, before the scenario of the Anthropocene, outlined the general features of a discipline that remains to come, that is neganthropology.
