Reviews

"Altamirano has given us profound and timely work, written in the tradition of Bergson, Whitehead, Deleuze and Latour. In showing how our technologies have influenced our philosophical notions of nature and time, the book might easily have been titled ""The Clock and the Cogito"". Highly recommended.--Daniel W. Smith, Purdue University"
