Abstract

The discussion that permeates this article is associated with the proposal for a scientific kind of act with respect to production technology based on the ethics of responsibility. It aims, through an exploratory study, the search for a heuristic sense for the technology, that is, reflect on the technique in human life as an impulse of curiosity in order to satisfy their objective needs and those that transcend. We try to finally understand that the "technological age" is the result of a Weltanschauung, understood by Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), in the Critique of Judgment, as the human capacity to perceive the sensible reality, i.e., a world view in which the domination of nature through technology looms to create obstacles to the deepening ontological knowledge and that human conduct can come back to marvel at for all that is provided that all activities engendered by it as aimed at causal point himself.
