Thinking about Technologies from Gilbert Simondon and Yuk Hui

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we point out the importance of problematizing current technologies from the philosophers Gilbert Simondon and Yuk Hui who alert us to the urgency of a technological thinking that is directed towards an education of technology against alienations that arises from positions that dissociate culture, technology and nature. With the aim of thinking about other alternatives against technological alienation, we approach some ideas about technological education, technical culture and post-human. Simondon makes us think about the operationalities of how machines work and the values they allude, Hui urges us on a new program of technological knowledge based on his concepts of cosmotechnics and technodiversity.
