Abstract

The text intends to exhibit some considerations around some specific questions about the thought of Gilbert Simondon, such as, for example, the notions of individuation and pre-individuality. Simondon will address in his work, a critique developed around the search in tradition for a kind of originary principle, called by Simondon inverted ontogenesis. Simondon presents a critique of the philosophy of consciousness and, in a contrary position, speaks of 'modes of individuation', instead of an idea of objective or subjective synthesis. According to Simondon, when thinking about the individual/life and its genesis, an analysis is carried out based on the individuation processes and their evidence, as opposed to the idea of form and matter. If there are no forms and no subjects, we can only think of differentiation (of a thing, of an animal, of a person), only through affects and dynamic intensities. There is no development plan, only relationships and differentiations.
