Abstract
In this paper, the author will propose a new reading of Heidegger’s reflections on technology based on Gilbert Simondon’s critique of cybernetics as a major opponent of Norbert Wiener’s philosophy, whose thought project almost single-handedly established the science of information systems management as the grounding discipline of modern science. Simondon proposes the establishment of a techno-culture of open machines in which man finds himself as a technician and mechanologist of a new social nexus. But for such a project, it is first necessary to develop a radically disruptive attitude towards everyday language, which hides in itself the means to rethink our attitudes towards the everyday challenges of techno-scientific enframing of the world.
