OLIVEIRA, Jelson Roberto de. The homo faber, from tools user to technological object. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.59, pp.331-351. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v30n59a2016-p331a351.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the ideia of the homo faber according to Hans Jonas's philosophy and his descriptive-analytical and evaluative view of technology. According to the author, the history of the technique could be divided in two parts, the pre-modern and modern, so it's possible to understand the homo faber under these two perspectives: in the first case, he is an user of tools and, in the second, a product or a technological object. Binds thus, the philosophical anthropology to ethics

Keywords : Homo Faber; Hans Jonas; Technology; Anthropology.
