  É por isso que Jacques Taminiaux pode escrever que
  é o próprio Ser que, sob sua aparência técnica, ou seja, sob uma tecnicização generalizada que se tornou a própria face de nosso mundo, e cuja essência metafísica Nietzsche e Marx, cada um à sua maneira, expressaram com precisão, […] é o próprio Ser que se oferece a nós ao se retirar. Mas dizer isso, e meditar sobre o que está sendo dito aqui, é o que a metafísica não é capaz de fazer[20].
  Há uma linhagem marxista nesse pensamento: é uma (…)

  After this analytical summary of the direct conceptual content of the theoretical revolution in dynamics, a brief metaphysical evaluation of it is in order. We said at one point that what the innovation was originally about was not the time-honored principle of causality per se, but the conception of change. We must now add that the altered conception of what constitutes a change, i.e., an effect, naturally reacted on the conception of what constitutes a cause. Now, "change" had been (…)

  What has neither will nor wisdom and is indifferent to itself solicits no respect. Awe before nature’s mystery gives way to the disenchanted knowingness which grows with the success of the analysis of all things into their primitive conditions and factors. The powers that produce those things are powerless to impart a sanction to them: thus their knowledge imparts no regard for them. On the contrary, it removes whatever protection they may have enjoyed in a pre-scientific view. The (…)

  The ethically relevant common feature in all the examples adduced is what I like to call the inherently "utopian" drift of our actions under the conditions of modern technology, whether it works on non-human or on human nature, and whether the "utopia" at the end of the road be planned or unplanned. By the kind and size of its snowballing effects, technological power propels us into goals of a type that was formerly the preserve of Utopias. To put it differently, technological power has (…)

• Bernard Stiegler – Técnica e Tempo (Introdução 2)
  18 de novembro de 2024, por Cardoso de Castro

  A refundação de uma filosofia racional não é mais o objetivo da análise existencial: embora a tecnicização do conhecimento permaneça no centro da meditação de Heidegger sobre a história do ser, a razão parece ser essencialmente dedicada ao cálculo, um devir técnico que é o ar-razoamento de todo ser. Mas, muito mais profundamente, o destino e a historicidade são pensados a partir de uma tecnicidade original, tecendo seu caminho através das análises da mundanidade do final da década de 1920 e (…)

  We live in a revolution — we of the West — and have been living in one for several centuries. We are naming its central agency when we call it the scientific-technological revolution. Having begun as a "provincially" European event, it has by now become global. In its progress it reshapes the external conditions of our being — that is, the world we live in; it thereby reshapes the ways of our living; and finally — or perhaps first — it reshapes the modes of our thinking. In brief, what (…)

  The new cosmology called for a new physics but did not provide one itself. It offered a new image of the universe but no explanation of it. It showed, by an ingenious combination of hypothesis, observation, and mathematical construction, how the macrocosmos "looks" and what motions its bodies describe, but not why they do so — i.e., what causes operate in that universe. The major structures of the world system had decisively changed, but nothing in the Copernican system as such, or in (…)

  The plain picture of classical, Newtonian mechanics here drawn, whose prime data were nothing but mass and acceleration, was later, especially from the nineteenth century on, made more complex by the addition of electromagnetism, radiating energy, atomic valency, nuclear forces, molecular structure. Though a far cry from the simplification of the original "matter and motion" formula of Descartes, the more advanced scheme in all its enormously increased subtlety still adheres to the (…)

  It is a common misconception that the evolutions of modern science and modern technology went hand in hand. The truth is that the great, theoretical breakthrough to modern science occurred in the seventeenth century, while the breakthrough of mature science into technology, and thereby the rise of modern, science-infused technology itself, happened in the nineteenth century. What happened in between?
  The question involves the impact which science may have had on technology or vice (…)

• Bernard Stiegler – Técnica e Tempo (Introdução 1)
  18 de novembro de 2024, por Cardoso de Castro

  No início de sua história, a filosofia isolou a techne e a episteme, que os tempos homéricos ainda não haviam distinguido. Essa mudança foi determinada por um contexto político no qual o filósofo acusava o sofista de usar o logos como retórica e logografia, um meio de poder e um não-lugar de conhecimento. É sobre o legado desse conflito, no qual a episteme filosófica luta contra a techne sofística, desvalorizando assim todo o conhecimento técnico, que a essência dos entes técnicos em geral é (…)

  Let us extract from the preceding those characteristics of human action which are relevant for a comparison with the state of things today.
  1. All dealing with the non-human world, i.e., the whole realm of techne (with the exception of medicine), was ethically neutral - in respect both of the object and the subject of such action: in respect of the object, because it impinged but little on the self-sustaining nature of things and thus raised no question of permanent injury to the integrity (…)

  All this is far from obvious. In fact, all appearances are on the side of the opposite, Aristotelian view. In our common experience, bodies do come to rest when the force propelling them ceases to act: the wagon does stop moving when no longer pulled or pushed; and the pulling or pushing, when done by us, is felt to produce the motion from moment to moment. Nor is there anything obvious about a circular motion not being a simple, unitary act. The Galilean revolution has this in common (…)

  How this came about is a story involving many things besides the history of science. The movement that remade thought from its foundations was not an isolated event but had a background commensurate in breadth with its own dimension in depth. We cannot go here into the manifold aspects of the crisis that attended the transition from medieval to modern man. Among them are the rise of the cities which eroded the feudal order, the concurrent rise of national monarchies, the expansion of (…)

  Similar comparisons could be made with all the other historical forms of the ethics of contemporaneity and immediacy. The new order of human action requires a commensurate ethics of foresight and responsibility, which is as new as are the issues with which it has to deal. We have seen that these are the issues posed by the works of homo faber in the age of technology. But among those novel works we haven’t mentioned yet the potentially most ominous class. We have considered techne only as (…)

• Jonas (1980) – Technology and Responsibility…(I)

  The novel powers I have in mind are, of course, those of modern technology. My first point, accordingly, is to ask how this technology affects the nature of our acting, in what ways it makes acting under its dominion different from what it has been through the ages. Since throughout those ages man was never without technology, the question involves the human difference of modern from previous technology. Let us start with an ancient voice on man’s powers and deeds which in an archetypal (…)

  It only remains to draw one last inference so as to have this account of the conceptual revolution terminate in a full-fledged mechanics of nature. To use abridged labels, it means completing the Galilean with the Newtonian record. There recurred in our account one term which is obviously crucial but is not a geometrical term and not resolvable into purely geometrical, i.e., space-time, terms; the concept of "force." It lurks in the concepts of both acceleration and inertia. We may (…)
