Bernard Stiegler’s unexpected passing away in August 2020 left many things unfinished. His philosophical work began with a seminal theory of technics as memory, evolved towards an interrogation of automatic society, and finally developed the concept of the neganthropocene in response to the entropic tendencies of a world marked by pervasive AI, ultra-liberalism and climate catastrophe. Stiegler's influence also extended beyond philosophy to practical engagements with the arts (IRCAM, Centre Pompidou) and civil society actors and political organizations (Project Plaine Commune, INTERNATION, Les amis de la génération de Greta Thunberg).
In order to commemorate the span of his multifaceted work, but above all in order to probe its future, the Leiden University Center for Continental Philosophy (LCCP) and the Institute for Science in Society of the Radboud University of Nijmegen summoned a meeting of both academics and actors from civil society. The meeting sought to explore the possible futures of Stiegler's philosophical project, both practically and theoretically. Due to COVID-19, the symposium took place online, and is now available to view in its entirety online. More than anybody else, Bernard Stiegler led us to interrogate both the dangers and the emancipation potential of such media, so let this also be an occasion for putting this element of his thinking into practice.
