«Le Grand Accélérateur» is the philosophical essay by Paul Virilio, published by Galilée in paperback (97 pages, in French).
Virilio starts from a rereading of Exodus: an exodus without a promised land, in a closed circuit, where humanity would see in its own eviction the only way out of the closure of history. With the CERN's large collider and the abandonment of the Moon as a backdrop, he announces a forced mobility marked by relocations and unemployment.
Classified in philosophy and philosophical anthropology, with attention to speed and time, the work was published in 2010 and includes bibliographic references.
Brief essay for philosophy readers interested in the critique of technological acceleration and contemporary social thought.
Paul Virilio was a French cultural theorist, urbanist, architect and aesthetic philosopher. He is best known for his writings about technology as it has developed in relation to speed and power, with diverse references to architecture, the arts, the city and the military. Virilio was a prolific creator of neologisms, most notably his concept of "dromology", the all-around, pervasive inscription of speed in every aspect of life.
