Page "Martin Heidegger" Paragraph 90

More recently, Heidegger's thought has considerably influenced the work of the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler.

This is evident even from the title of Stiegler's multi-volume magnum opus, La technique et le temps ( volume one translated into English as Technics and Time, 1: The Fault of Epimetheus ).

Stiegler offers an original reading of Heidegger, arguing that there can be no access to " originary temporality " other than via material, that is, technical, supports, and that Heidegger recognised this in the form of his account of world historicality, yet in the end suppressed that fact.

Stiegler understands the existential analytic of Being and Time as an account of psychic individuation, and his later " history of being " as an account of collective individuation.

He understands many of the problems of Heidegger's philosophy and politics as the consequence of Heidegger's inability to integrate the two.
