The following research attempts to study Andrew Feenberg’s work «Transforming Technology» in order to show that the interpretation of Heidegger as a representative of the so-called «Substantive theory of technology» responds to the selective reading of works from the period after the 1930’s «Kehre.» In contrast, we hold that Heidegger´s philosophy from the 1920's has numerous contact points with Feenberg´s own position, the so-called «Critical Theory of Technology.» From this perspective, we will seek to make one of the possible linkages explicit: we shall propose that, in Feenberg´s notion of «Technical Code,» a strong resemblance with Heideggers concept of «World» can be found. By these means, we try to uphold the German author’s figure, as that of a defender, or at least, a relevant background author, for the Critical Theory of Technology.Downloads
