| Summary: | The philosophy of technology, as a relevant theoretical field in contemporary philosophy, has a history that dates back to the classic philosophers of technology, as well as to the subsequent movement known as the empirical turn. However, as discussed in the field's specialized literature, several impasses currently challenge the objectives of the empirical turn. These impasses are particularly evident when considering technological phenomena from a planetary perspective, making it difficult nowadays to conceive a philosophical inquiry exclusively focused on analyzing technical objects and their local usage contexts. Therefore, this work aims to explore this historical-philosophical trajectory, beginning with thinkers such as Martin Heidegger and culminating in the present day, inquiring about the limits of the empirical turn. |
