What does a natural attitude towards our experience of the technical world reveal to us? Every experience implies an openness to the world. The horizon of the world that unfolds through our technical experience is, in a certain way, sui generis. Technical experience reveals our agency within a world that is not directly nature itself, nor extranatural or supernatural; rather, it is a world that can be defined, using an Aristotelian concept, as a second nature—i.e., a nature for us, where our activities of transforming reality acquire an essential normative meaning.
