FEENBERG, Andrew. Teoría crítica de la tecnología. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2005, vol.2, n.5, pp.109-123. ISSN 1850-0013.

This article summarizes the key aspects of Andrew Feenberg's philosophy of technology, and illustrates it with examples from the world of computerization. According to this proposal, the central issue of philosophy of technology is the preeminence of technocratic administration and the threat that it poses for a full performance of human agency. The analysis of this issue is carried out in terms of the instrumentalization theory, an approach critically nourished both of insights coming from essentialist philosophy of technology and constructivism of historians and sociologists.

Palabras clave : Technocracy; Instrumentalization; Technical code; Resistance.
