Question

[Francoise Rosset]

I like and endorse most of Nathan Klausner's translation, EXCEPT, 
because I think I understand it :) , I disagree with "increasingly 
relegated." That may be true but it's not explicit in this excerpt.

I would amend it to

"Technology thus functions as the practical and tangible incarnation 
of animate images, whereas philosophy is articulated and evolved as a 
cogitation of these images in various aspects of intellectual life."

I would prefer something else for "cogitation" but haven't found it, 
and "reflection" isn't good enough.

Just my two centimes worth,
