DIAZ ISENRATH, Cecilia. Técnica y singularidad en Günther Anders y Gilbert Simondon. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.14, pp.105-116. ISSN 1850-0013.

The aim of this article is to analyze Günther Anders and Gilbert Simondon's central theses on technology. Departing from a brief systematization of the authors' perspectives, it approaches the problem of technology as constituent feature of the human condition. This proposal is developed on the basis of Anders's master work, The Outdatedness of Human Beings. It is argued, in these lines, that the transformation of the world of technical artifacts tends to do away with the machine as an individualized unit, which becomes itself a system of relations and extends far beyond the work process. The implications of this trend in the logics of scientific discovery are also addressed in these pages.

Keywords : Günther  Anders; Gilbert Simondon; Metastability; Social change.
