In contemporary French intellectual discourse, Bernard Stiegler’s reinterpretation of the concept of “problem” has established a highly original philosophical trajectory known as problem philosophy. Lei Ma (2025) interprets this approach through an in-depth analysis of the temporal structure within Stiegler’s philosophy of problem. Stiegler’s philosophy of problem not only critiques Martin Heidegger’s ontological tradition but also redefines the seemingly fundamental philosophical act of “questioning” within the context of the technological era, endowing it with new structural frameworks and dynamic tension. Stiegler’s fundamental innovation lies in shifting the focus of “problem” from Heideggerian “contemplation of being” to real-world “defective experience”. This paper shows that Ma’s argument is not only novel and unique but also persuasive.
