The Philosophy of Technology at a crossroads: Heidegger and the limits of the empirical turn

Conteúdo do artigo principal

Matheus Ferreira de Barros

Resumo

A filosofia da tecnologia, enquanto campo teórico da filosofia contemporânea, possui uma história que remonta aos filósofos clássicos da tecnologia, bem como ao subsequente movimento conhecido como virada empírica. No entanto, conforme discutido na literatura especializada, atualmente existem diversos impasses que desafiam os objetivos da virada empírica. Esses impasses são especialmente evidentes quando consideramos fenômenos relacionados à tecnologia em uma perspectiva planetária, tornando atualmente difícil conceber uma abordagem filosófica exclusivamente centrada na análise de objetos técnicos e seus contextos de uso locais. O objetivo deste trabalho é explorar esse percurso histórico-filosófico, que tem início com pensadores como Martin Heidegger e culmina nos dias atuais, investigando os limites da virada empírica.
