About the Author :

Sacha Loeve is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University Lyon 3 Jean Moulin, where he teaches philosophy and history of science and technology. His main research interests are the philosophy of contemporary technoscientific objects (with various fieldwork studies on nanotechnology, synthetic biology, pharmacology, and carbon), the history of technology as a mode of knowledge, the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon, and the role of humanities in engineering and technology.

Xavier Guchet is Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of Technology at the University of Technology Compiègne. As a researcher, he is interested in bridging epistemological and ethical issues related to converging technology (nanobiotechnology) and personalized genomic medicine. He wrote four books on evolutionary approaches to technology (2005), on French philosopher of technology Gilbert Simondon (2010) on nanotechnology (2014), and on personalized medicine (2016).

Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and History of Science at the university Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Her research interests span from the philosophy of chemical technologies to nano and biotechnologies. She has extensively published on materials, technoscience and synthetic biology.



Review :

"Bottom line: French Philosophy of Technology is likely to be of interest to historians because of the way it resituates technicity into deep technological past and a contingent if fraught future. More than a simple introduction to French thought, this is a significant contribution to intellectual history and more substantive than the Chambers monograph." (Carl Mitcham, Technology and Culture, Vol. 66 (4), October, 2025)
