description: In the first two volumes of Technics and Time Bernard Stiegler worked carefully through Heidegger's and Husserl's relationship to technics and technology. Here in volume three he turns his attention to the prolematic relationship to technics he finds in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason particularly in the two versions of the Transcendental Deduction. Stiegler relates this problematic to the cinematic nature of time which precedes cinema itself but reaches an apotheosis in it as the exteriorization process of schema through tertiary retentions and their mechanisms. The book focuses on the relationship between these themes and the culture industry as defined by Adorno and Horkheimerthat has supplanted the educational institutions on which genuine cultural participation depends. This displacement Stiegler says has produced a malaise from which current global culture suffers. The result is potentially catastrophic.
