Abstract
Starting from some of P. Sloterdijk’s remarks about technique, which he considers a
positive agent of cooperation and democracy, and keeping in mind the definition given by
M. Heidegger, who declares that “technique is a way of revealing”, this paper tackles the
issue of technique and its “instrumental” character in relation with the “subject”, as
separated and divided from the “subject” itself. But technique should be thought more
radically, in order to detect between “technique” and “subject” not only an instrumental
relation, but also a constitutive one, which goes beyond any optimistic or pessimistic
purpose.
