Time, Technology and Environment

Marco Altamirano teaches in the Philosophy Department at Louisiana State University. He has published in several philosophy journals including Foucault Studies, Symplokē and the Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy.

• Introduction: The Bifurcation of Nature; 1. The Clock and the Cogito; 2. The Polarisation of Nature; 3. Difference and Representation: Deleuze and the Reversal of Platonism; 4. Beyond the Nature-Artifice Divide: Technology, Milieu, and Machine; Conclusion: Toward a New Philosophy of Nature.

Altamirano has given us profound and timely work, written in the tradition of Bergson, Whitehead, Deleuze and Latour. In showing how our technologies have influenced our philosophical notions of nature and time, the book might easily have been titled "The Clock and the Cogito". Highly recommended.
