A tecnologia em sentido moral: uma perspectiva crítica em Rousseau

Abstract

This article intends to make a reflexive analysis about technology in the moral sense. It seeks to address the development of technologies by showing its moral implications from the criticism of the progress of reason elaborated by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his Discourse on Sciences and the Arts. The critical Rousseauian perspective is assumed in the sense that it is understood that scientific and technological progress must be understood from the point of view of its ultimate causality insofar as progress is related to the profound transformations that occur in the relations between man, nature and society.
