Tecnologia, la fabrica del mondo. Per un umanesimo tecnologico del secondo ordine

Abstract

If techniques in themselves are ‘neither positive nor negative’, neither are they neutral, since they are always radical: they always encapsulate a constructive vision of the world, of human beings and how they live in society, of how things are and how they can or should change. Technology builds the bridge over which social development transits and thus prefigures humanity's destination, i.e. it ultimately ‘uses’ human beings with a view (more or less unconsciously) to a certain goal.
