ESPINOZA LOLAS, Ricardo; MOYA DIEZ, Iván  and  VILCHES VILCHES, Daniel. On Technology And Life Fundamental Concepts Of Georges Caguilhem And Xavier Zubiri's Thought. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2018, vol.67, n.167, pp.127-147. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v67n167.59430.

The paper inquires into the problem of the technological exploitation of the world on the basis of Xavier Zubiri's and Georges Canguilhem's thought. It examines Zubiri's analysis of human intelligence and Canguilhem's thesis regarding the primordial nature of technological activity, its relation to science, and its role in the normativity of the organism. In both authors, the term Umwelt, translated as "surrounding-world" or behavioral environment, serves as the basis to establish the possibilities of technology in developing new forms of relationship with the environment.

Keywords : G. Canguilhem; X. Zubiri; environment; technology; life.
