SEVILLA, Sergio. LA TECNICA Y LA CRISIS FILOSOFICA DEL HUMANISMO. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.42, pp.229-250. Epub Feb 06, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X. https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v21n42a2007-470.
The civilizatory events that we emblematically represent under such names as Auschwitz or Hiroshima have made it clear that the understanding of reality as technically approachable compels us to reformulate some problems which are central to philosophy: the omnipresence of technique transforms the way of life of individuals and of contemporary societies, man’s link with nature, and social links, no less than the ways of constructing human subjectivity. In opposition to Heidegger’s destruction of the subject, this paper tries to defend the idea that, in the present crisis opened up by the new possibilities of technology, it is imperative to reconstruct the subject of moral and political responsibility.
Keywords : Humanism; crisis; M. Heidegger.
