Philosophy of the Machine 2

This chapter continues uncovering the obscurations of what a
Machine is by examining the Phenomenology of what it is or isn’t.
What lies behind and beyond the phenomena of its skeuomorphic
medially of a technological system?


The closer you get to the Machine, the stranger it looks back.
Speaking of a system of interacting elements functioning great
than their sum is simply a tautology that leaves the question
unanswered.


From: The Philosophy of the Machine, translated by Hopkins
Stanley and Martin Burckhardt. (to be published)
