The Brundtland report substantially conveys the regulative specification of a worldwide social and ecological national economic development, justified by the possibility of equal opportunities also for future generations (intergenerational justice). In addition, this development should be designed in such a way that equal access to resources for all living people is possible (intragenerational justice) (Hauff 1987; Dingler 2003). Reactions to the report reveal the nature of its global regulatory appeal, because intraand inter-generational justice can only be defined according to political values (Vanhulst/Beling 2014; Grunwald 2011). In 2015, the United Nations set the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), differentiating and equating SD explicitly with peace and security, natural and cultural diversity, democracy, eradicating poverty, as well as equal rights and opportunities for women and men (SDGs 2015). SD simultaneously tends to be shaped by a hegemonic discourse of SD (Hajer 1995; Höhler/Luks 2004; Brown 2016; Vanhulst/Zaccai 2016; Albán/Rosero 2016)1 that ultimately","PeriodicalId":244847,"journal":{"name":"Thinking the Problematic","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121903924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay, I explore some of the methodological aspects of this process. At a fundamental level, approaching the construction of a problematic as a process of individuation, Simondon provides an alternative to theories of knowledge in which the possibility of knowledge is grounded in the constituting activity of the knowing subject. As he puts it, ‘We cannot know individuation in the common sense of the phrase; we can only individuate, individuate ourselves and in ourselves’ (1992: 317). In Simondon’s approach to the individuation of a problematic, metaphysics and logic are merged in what is called transduction, that is, a recursive analogical operation in which the process of individuation ‘between the real exterior and the subject is grasped by the subject due to the analogical individuation of knowledge in the subject’ (Simondon quoted in Combes, 2012: 9; my italics). Transduction is the analogical and self-grounding dimension of the procedure of thought.

After all, how is the problematic expressed if not through a sort of paradox of our present, one whereby the present becomes fugitive, boiling over itself, constituting a time ‘while passing in the time constituted’ (Deleuze 1994: 79)? So does the proposition of this book, of thinking the problematic, confront us with a paradox in which the problematic makes itself manifest, from which it cracks open, proffering itself fugitively in search of new presents. And the paradox is this: What does thought ever do, if it does not think the problematic? What is thinking if not the event of becoming possessed by a problematic one cannot shake, let alone properly state, a problematic that spurs the thinker into thinking, feeling and doing? This is what William James (1890: 401) alluded to when he suggested that ‘the thought is itself the thinker, and psychology needs not look beyond’. For the thinker is constituted as such by a problematic for which it becomes a means.1 James expounded on this idea with his concept of a ‘fringe’, a fringe of felt relations on the edge of which thoughts – which is also to say, thinkers – swim. The fringe constitutes a vector of indetermination, and in ‘all voluntary thinking there is some topic or subject about which all the members of the thought revolve. Half the time this topic is a problem, a gap we cannot yet fill with a definite picture, word, or phrase, but which, in the manner described some time back, inf luences us in an intensely active and determinate psychic way. Whatever may be the images and phrases that pass before us, we feel their relation to this aching gap. To fill it up is our thought’s destiny.’ (James 1890: 80)","PeriodicalId":244847,"journal":{"name":"Thinking the Problematic","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127630289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
