(1991) Understanding the artificial, Dordrecht, Springer.
In the framework of a discussion about the epistemology of computing, Bernard Stiegler (1986) employs a metaphor based on the myth of Epimetheus and Prometheus. According to that myth, Epimetheus endowed animals with various qualities, but forgot man. Unfledged and defenceless, to survive, man had to be endowed with reason by Prometheus, who sacrificed himself in the process.
