Abstract


The French philosopher Bernard Stiegler’s philosophy of technology is wide spread all over China, while the researchers do not
pay the same amount of passion in critical analysis and uncritical applications. Few articles have been issued on the topic of the originality of
general organology. Through problematic analysis and research of thought of history, the academic significance and contemporary value of
general organology has been revealed, which is a synthesis of the study of the history of the body and the history of technology that helps to
scientifically understand the technical reality and psychological reality in contemporary eras.

Keywords


Mechanism; Megamachine; Organ Projection Theory; General Organology
