ON THE RELATION BETWEEN HUMAN AND TECHNOLOGY
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
According to the author, we live in the world which requires us to better understand the relationship between humans and technology, and especially technological artifacts. The author claims that this relationship, at least partially, can be explained in the framework of philosophy cultivated by the Lublin School of Philosophy represented by Mieczysław A. Krąpiec and his concepts of two intentionalites. However, in order to do justice to the human–artifact relationship two concepts of intentionality as elaborated by Krąpiec seem to be insufficient. The author then proposes to supplement Krąpiec’s concepts of the first intentionality present in the maker’s design and the second inten-tionality present in the artifact as an embodiment of that design with a concept of the third intentionality which is the inventive contribution of a user.
