====== Iliadis, A. Informational Ontology: The Meaning of Gilbert Simondon’s Concept of Individuation (2013) ======

Disponible online en https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1015&context=cpo

The French philosopher Gilbert Simondon (1924-1989) was the first true philosopher of information,
yet he remains relatively unknown outside of his native France. This situation is curious, given the
warm reception his work has received from a small group of internationally renowned thinkers.
Simondon’s lifelong project was to expound the appearance of what I call an “informational
ontology,” a subject that deserves to be addresses at length. This article limits itself by focusing on
three aspects of Simondon’s philosophy of information. First, it situates Simondon within the French
intellectual scene in post-World War II Europe to get sense of his cultural milieu. Second, it positions
Simondon’s work in the context of the American cybernetic tradition from which it emerged. Finally,
it offers an exegesis of Simondon’s informational ontology, a radically new materialism that stands to
change contemporary debates surrounding issues related to information, communication, and
technology.
