Resumo

Technics, the technical operation, is broadly regarded as a production or modification of objects and processes. I argue that Simondon’s thinking paves the way to conceive technics not merely as a producing machine of things but also as a machine of thought, a production of schemas of intelligibility which can be eventually universal. As a way to understand this idea, the key passage from the energetic conception of thermodynamics to the informational conception of cybernetics is addressed, with special attention to the notion of noise. As a result, we will see that Simondon does not only construct one of the most original philosophies of technics of the 20th century but that his philosophy is, at its core, a technical philosophy.
