Abstract

The work tries to approach the three issues or presumptions about the technique and the technical production in Hannah Arendt. Firstly, that all produced object or device conditions the reflexivity of the operating individual. Secondly, that every action thought from the technical era leads to the called “unforseeable consequences”. And Thirdly, that there exists a moment of previous decision to all artefactual production that, due to their unforseeable consequences, escapes from the principles that regulate it. Then, the interpretation of Anders will be considered regarding what does thinking action models about the technical era mean, and its contribution in complementing the vision of Arendt on the matter.
