Resumo: | The definition of the technique as the mediation between man and nature raises some philosophical problems. Such mediation was established based on imperatives, among which we can highlight efficiency and domination, both exercised over nature. In order to expand the possibilities for improving the human condition, the notion of technical progress has become an emerging need for the consolidation of ancient and modern civilizations. However, it is necessary to establish the criteria for a critique of the limits of unrestrained progress in order to be able to highlight the ambiguity of this process. The development of reality goes through a series of increasingly sophisticated domains without which the objective achievements that structure human life would not be possible. As it oscillates more and more rapidly between production and destruction, technology - understood as the applied discourse of technique (techné-logos) - accuses its own limit when submitted to the imperative of efficiency and domination. The purpose of this paper is to show that the ambiguous consequences of technical progress work as an instinctive mechanism for both the welfare state and the state of war. The methodology used to address these issues will be the clash of ideas present in the studies of thinkers who reflected the theme of the technique. Our conclusion, in addition to pointing to a reflection on the limits of technique in human life, intends to rethink the unfolding of the imperatives of a civilization guided by the notion of technical progress and its inevitable contradiction with the notion of human progress. |

Tal mediação se estabeleceu a partir de imperativos, dentre os quais podemos destacar a eficiência e a dominação, ambas exercidas sobre a natureza. A fim de ampliar as possibilidades de melhoramento da condição humana, a noção de progresso técnico tornou-se uma necessidade emergente para a consolidação das civilizações antigas e modernas. No entanto, é necessário estabelecer os critérios de uma crítica dos limites de um progresso desenfreado para podermos evidenciar a ambiguidade desse processo. O desenvolvimento da realidade passa por uma série de domínios cada vez mais sofisticados sem os quais as concretizações objetivas que estruturam a vida humana não seriam possíveis. Ao oscilar cada vez mais rápido entre a produção e a destruição, a tecnologia – entendida como o discurso aplicado da técnica (techné-logos) – acusa o seu próprio limite quando submetida ao imperativo da eficiência e da dominação. O propósito deste trabalho é mostrar que as consequências ambíguas do progresso técnico funcionam como mecanismo instaurador tanto do estado de bem-estar como do estado de guerra. A metodologia utilizada para o tratamento dessas questões será o embate de ideias presentes nos estudos de pensadores que refletiram o tema da técnica. Nossa conclusão, além de apontar para uma reflexão sobre os limites da técnica na vida humana, pretende repensar os desdobramentos dos imperativos de uma civilização pautada pela noção de progresso técnico e sua inevitável contradição com a noção de progresso humano.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/219510.31977/grirfi.v21i1.2195Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 1 (2021); 354-3662178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2195/1239Copyright (c) 2021 Cássio Robson Alves da Silvahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves da Silva, Cássio Robson2021-06-02T12:21:07Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2195Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-06-02T12:21:07Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false |

The definition of the technique as the mediation between man and nature raises some philosophical problems. Such mediation was established based on imperatives, among which we can highlight efficiency and domination, both exercised over nature. In order to expand the possibilities for improving the human condition, the notion of technical progress has become an emerging need for the consolidation of ancient and modern civilizations. However, it is necessary to establish the criteria for a critique of the limits of unrestrained progress in order to be able to highlight the ambiguity of this process. The development of reality goes through a series of increasingly sophisticated domains without which the objective achievements that structure human life would not be possible. As it oscillates more and more rapidly between production and destruction, technology - understood as the applied discourse of technique (techné-logos) - accuses its own limit when submitted to the imperative of efficiency and domination. The purpose of this paper is to show that the ambiguous consequences of technical progress work as an instinctive mechanism for both the welfare state and the state of war. The methodology used to address these issues will be the clash of ideas present in the studies of thinkers who reflected the theme of the technique. Our conclusion, in addition to pointing to a reflection on the limits of technique in human life, intends to rethink the unfolding of the imperatives of a civilization guided by the notion of technical progress and its inevitable contradiction with the notion of human progress. |
