Editors’ Introduction: Simondon for the Twenty-first Century

The Edinburgh Companion to Gilbert Simondon displays both the internal coherence of Simondon’s work and its innovative potential in a variety of research fields. The complexity of his philosophical enterprise is rigorously interpreted and made available to researchers that are keen to cross disciplinary boundaries and explore new appropriations of his research. Structured in four distinct sections, the volume hosts a collection of essays penned by scholars who have been working on and through Simondon for several years across different disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, politics, law, media, architecture, economy, and ecology. Topics covered range from individuation, technology, imagination and the transindividual to metastability and more.
