Vital Rationale of the Technique

Abstract

The aim of this paper is the understanding of the technique from Ortega's vital reason point of view. The conditions of the technique and its characters will be established. In the next pages will also be exposed the main ideas of Ortega concerning the technique: the need of the superfluous, life as freedom and project; the instrumental character of technique and the unlikelihood of a technocracy. Neither the technique nor the technicians are able to exert the spiritual power, because they cannotprovide life's purposes.
