BALLABIO, Alessandro; GAMBOA, Sonia Cristina  and  VARGAS-GUILLEN, Germán. Modus essendi and cognoscendi of the Individual and the Cybernetic System in GilbertSimondon. Folios [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.37-50.  Epub Dec 11, 2020. ISSN 0123-4870.

This reflection article presents a study that clarifies, following Gilbert Simondon, the conception of technical mind as an analog scheme for the philosophical understanding of individuation. To do this, the authors explore, in the first place, individual and individuation issues as information systems. Subsequently, they establish the conception of the holist or cybernetic system as analogous to what has already been indicated. Next, in light of what has been described, they propose the scope of individuation as a possibility of meaning of the collective, based on a technical mind. Then, it is still to be established whether there can be a renewal of ethics, based on an ontology that recognizes the dimensions of the holist systems as modus essendi and their understanding as modus cognoscendi.

Keywords : individuation; technical mind; technical object; holist system; cybernetic system.
