Simondon and Physics
Résumé
I will discuss successively here: 1. Simondon's epistemological doctrine of the realism of relations, which extends Bachelard's study of contemporary physics; 2. Simondon's ability to de-substantialize the individual without de-realizing it and to construct a non-reductionist anti-substantialism; 3. His interpretation of contemporary physics towards a "reality of the possible"; 4. his differentiated thought on the paradigms and schemes offered to philosophical ontology by this contemporary physics. A fifth and final point will then be devoted to concluding remarks on the potential offered by the chapter "Form and Substance" in its original interpretation of quantum physics, beyond Louis de Broglie's influence on Simondon.
