Resumen

BRONCANO, Fernando. La agencia técnica. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2005, vol.2, n.5, pp.95-107. ISSN 1850-0013.

This article analyses the technical agency from the two basic dimensions that constitute the normative space of technology. On the one hand, the opening of the space of possibilities for the transformation of the world. This dimension is linked to the valuation of novelty as an essential component of technical progress and to the precautionary principle as the only political principle of technology. On the other hand, the effective capability of realization of the pursued technical actions. This dimension is referred to the degree of control over an aspect of reality introduced by a new technology. Finally, the article reflects on the different senses that have been ascribed to the notion of control and their respective philosophical consequences to think human agency in the sphere of technology.

Palabras clave : Agency; Normativity; Intentional action; Control; Power.
