Simondon’s Du mode d’existence des objets techniques argues that technical objects must be understood as bearers of human reality, not as neutral tools, alien forces or mere instruments of domination. His central claim is that modern culture produces alienation by excluding machines from the sphere of meaning: aesthetic and literary objects are granted cultural dignity, while technical objects are reduced to utility or feared as autonomous threats. Against this impoverished view, Simondon proposes a philosophical education capable of recognising the mode of existence proper to technical beings. A machine is not perfected by becoming more automatic; rather, its true technical refinement lies in openness, relationality and its capacity to receive information. This is why the human being should not be imagined as the master of enslaved machines, but as a coordinator, interpreter and inventor within a society of technical objects. Simondon’s analysis of engines and electronic tubes shows that technical evolution proceeds through concretisation: parts cease to function as isolated components and become integrated within reciprocal systems of causality. The technical object therefore has a history, a genesis and an internal coherence. Its cultural recognition would not dehumanise society; on the contrary, it would restore a more complete humanism by revealing the human gestures, knowledge and values crystallised within machines.
