In our everyday lives, we come into contact with a series of technological objects and we employ technology in a number of ways. Usually, the “relation” we develop with these objects works, on a first level, for our benefit. On the other hand, we actually know little about the technologies we use in order to accomplish various activities. Technolog...

Modern science and technology (as crucial outcomes of Modernity) continuously supply everyday life with even more sophisticated practical applications, while at the same time degrading its theoretical compound on all the levels of social becoming. The thinkers of the Frankfurt School criticize Modernity by emphasizing the twofold scheme that lies a...

Despite the addiction of modern societies, one can presume, from a kind of “technological way of life”, there is actually a lack in the critical study of technological phenomenon. In this paper, I attempt to describe the influence of technology to civilization, as it has mainly been configured by the changes that have been stated in the way of rece...

Προσδοκία των επιμελητών αυτού του τόμου είναι να αναδείξουν τη σημασία και την επικαιρότητα της Φιλοσοφίας της Τεχνολογίας ιδιαίτερα σε μια εποχή που από πολλές απόψεις θυμίζει τη λεγόμενη πρώτη κρίση της νεοτερικότητας. Στις αρχές του 20ού αιώνα η ιδέα περί της «εκτός ελέγχου τεχνολογίας» τροφοδότησε έναν συντηρητικό τρόπο σκέψης που αποτέλεσε έν...

The concepts of culture and civilization have been directly linked to the process of social construction since the dawn of human history. A philosophy of civilization presupposes a history of human evolution that would seek to highlight humanity's achievements through which we have reached the modern age. Now, even more so after the middle of the 2...

Τα 28 διηγήματα αυτού του βιβλίου περιγράφουν καθημερινές, μόνιμες ή παροδικές, περιπέτειες. Ιστορίες που έχουν αφορμή κάτι που συνέβη και υπάρχουν μαρτυρίες για αυτό, και άλλες που εξηγούνται μόνον από τις εξομολογήσεις του συγγραφέα. Όλες όμως εκκρεμούν. Είναι μικρές, σύντομες αλλά δεν θέλουν να κρύψουν τίποτα. Ούτε σκοπεύουν να μεγαλώσουν. Δεν α...

Ένα από τα κεντρικά ζητήματα στο πλαίσιο της φιλοσοφίας της τεχνολογίας είναι η σχέση των αρχικών ιδεών, των σχεδιαστικών προτάσεων, των υλοποιημένων κατασκευών και των κάθε λογής και είδους εφαρμογών της τεχνολογίας με τη διαμόρφωση της κοινωνικής κατάστασης. Αυτή η αναμφισβήτητη αλληλεξάρτηση (ανάμεσα στην κοινωνία και την αδιάκοπη μετάβαση της τ...

My a...

The critical examination of the so-called ‘new technological condition’ of contemporary societies, many argue, poses a series of questions while bringing forth in the scholarly discussion concepts that possibly ought to be reconsidered by the academic community. In this context, much has been said about the peculiar relation between technology, sci...
