Organizing dynamism and its egg. Ruyer and his molar theory of multiplicities
Sauvagnargues, Anne
Organizing dynamism and its egg. Ruyer and his molar theory of multiplicities - 2020.
62
Hostile to all human exceptionalism, Ruyer’s work breaks with the familiar humanism of anthropocentric philosophies in order to establish three propositions for a contemporary ecological philosophy: subjectivity is not reducible to the subject; consciousness is not localized in the brain; and sense is not embedded in linguistic signification. Ruyer inventively takes up Bergson’s analysis of multiplicities in order to critique anthropomorphism, but his molar, non-rheological conception of the relations between multiplicities paradoxically ends in praise of colonial domination.
