摘要

Thinking about the technological dimension inherent in philosophical praxis is not absent from the history of philosophy; however, it has remained peripheral or subsumed within broader reflections, never fully emerging as a central problem or field of study. This paper is divided into six parts. First, it proposes the need to problematize the technological condition of philosophy as a metaphilosophical issue not yet systematically addressed. Second, it traces moments in the history of philosophy in which this technicity was intuited or indirectly thematized, in order to show that such a problematization has indeed been latent. Third, it offers a tentative redefinition of the concepts of technology and artifact from within the act of philosophizing itself. From there, it introduces a relevant property—technological captivity—by which technology entraps certain modes of existence and transforms beings, practices, and environments. The fourth part explores how this condition of captivity allows us to sketch an alternative ontology from which to read technology and its structuring effects on philosophical thought, emphasizing not only its epistemic, but also its political and moral implications. Fifth, it argues that awareness of this captivity implies a decentering in the study of the problem of technology—and, in particular, a technological turn of philosophy—which translates into an ethical and epistemic opening toward an alterity capable of orienting new forms of vigilance, critique, and transformation of both technology and philosophy. Finally, a sixth section addresses the limitations of this study, outlining directions for future inquiries.
