In this book, Jean-Hugues Barth l my takes up Simondon's thought and shows how life and technology are connected by a transversal theme: individuation. In the first essay, Barth l my delivers a contemporary interpretation of Simondon's concept of ontogenesis against the backdrop of biology and cybernetics. In the second essay, he extends his reflections to propose a non-anthropological understanding of technology, and so sets up a confrontation with the work of Martin Heidegger.
