La invención del hombre desde la exteriorización tecno-lógica: una relación asimétrica
The invention of man from the techno-logical externalization: an asymmetric relationship
Abstract (en)
One of the central problems that the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler has tackled to sustain a techno-logical constitution of humanity is the question of the origin of man. The question lies in asking whether it is possible to think the origin of the humankind from this thesis, without returning to metaphysics or transcendental philosophy. This position must be rooted in an ontology that apprehends the causal component at the relational level, leaving aside the explanations in which the cause is substantialist.
In order to develop this proposal, this article is composed of two general parts: the first one is destined to present up to where Stiegler follows and up to where he separates from the zoo-anthropological conception of André Leroi-Gourhan about the origin of man; to then explain the epistemological and ontological bases on which Stiegler erects his techno-ontological thesis of humanity; namely: the foundations of Simondonian transduction and Derridian différance.
The Stielgerian thesis of a common and relational origin of technique and man in a process of technical externalization, cannot be thought from a previous interiority. The difficulty is to understand how, from a relational ontology, we can account for the difference of man in life, his birth in continuity and differentiation with the animal. To clarify this relational dynamic and overcome the paradoxes that Stiegler’s discourse seems to generate, we discussed the opportunity for a terminological convergence with the perspective of biological enactivity worked by Di Paolo. In this sense, we could speak of symmetry and relational asymmetry, of relational polarization leading to the establishment of poles or polarities and thus clarify the continuity (community) and the rupture (separation) that exists between life and man, between the technicality of the live and human technology.

Uno de los problemas centrales que el filósofo francés Bernard Stiegler ha abordado para sostener una constitución tecno- lógica de la humanidad, es la cuestión del origen del hombre. El asunto recae en preguntarse si es posible pensar quién es el hombre desde esta tesis, sin volver a la metafísica o la filosofía trascendental. Esta posición ha de estar enraizada en una ontología que aprehenda el componente causal a nivel relacional, dejando de lado las explicaciones en las cuales la causa es substancialista. Para dar desarrollo a esta propuesta, este artículo se compone de dos partes generales: la primera está destinada a presentar hasta dónde sigue y en dónde se separa Stiegler de la concepción zoo-antropológica de André Leroi-Gourhan sobre el origen del hombre; para luego explicar las bases epistemológicas y ontológicas sobre las que Stiegler erige sus tesis tecno-ontológica de la humanidad; a saber: los fundamentos de la transducción simondoniana y la diferancia derridiana.
