Reviews

The English-speaking public is still waiting for a full translation of [Gilbert Simondon's] Psychic and Collective Individuation (L'individuation psychique et collective). As a foretaste, however, Edinburgh University Press has published David Scott's book, which serves as an introduction and a guide, providing a chapter-by-chapter commentary on Simondon's important work. As Scott follows the structure of Simondon's work very closely, this book will be useful for a parallel reading with Psychic and Collective Individuation ... Scott positions Simondon well in his intellectual and historical context, including a description of his philosophical trajectories ... At the end of the book, Scott suggests possible topics for further research, which could also be very useful for advanced students looking for possible lines of convergence in their research. --Iwona Janicka, University of Cambridge, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
