Stiegler Bernard, 2010
In the third volume of "Technics and Time," Bernard Stiegler delves into the complex relationship between Kant's philosophy and technics, specifically examining the Transcendental Deduction in its two versions. He connects these ideas to the inherent "cinematic nature" of time, a concept that predates cinema but finds its ultimate expression through externalization processes, tertiary retentions, and their mechanisms. The book further explores how these themes intersect with the "culture industry," as defined by Adorno and Horkheimer, and its impact on educational institutions and genuine cultural participation. Stiegler argues that this displacement has led to a global cultural malaise with potentially catastrophic consequences.
