Abstract

This contribution is intended to examine and compare some of the most significant philosophical positions on technique that emerged in the early 1930s expressing different perspectives. In a problematic horizon defined on the one hand by Walter Benjamin’s reflections on the profound functional variation of the aesthetic experience for modern man, on the other hand by the valuations of Karl Jaspers on the epochal contribution of technology in terms of a new philosophy of history, here we finally propose to take into consideration the neo-Kantian reflections on the theme in question advanced by Ernst Cassirer in terms of a critique of culture
