Bernard Stiegler: The Immense Regression. What is Called Caring? Book presentation with Bernard Stiegler’s translator, Daniel Ross

Do we need to take more seriously Nietzsche’s call for philosophy to begin not in astonishment but in dread? Or Guattari’s warning about a “barbaric implosion”? Or Deleuze’s unflinching diagnosis of control societies—just before the Internet arrived? If our present feels unthinkable, perhaps thought has forgotten how to care.

Bernard Stiegler’s The Immense Regression—volume one of his two-part opus What Is Called Caring?—returns to care as philosophy’s most urgent task in the Anthropocene. In Daniel Ross’s lucid, definitive English translation, Stiegler reads our crisis through the lenses of technics, attention, and desire, and asks how thinking might once again bandage, tend, and repair.

Join us for a launch with Bernard Stiegler’s translator Daniel Ross, who will discuss the book, read selected passages, and reflect on working with one of Europe’s most incisive contemporary philosophers.
