Technologia krzemieniarska w perspektywie filozofii techniki

Abstract

The paper present non-instrumentalist view of technology derived by the work of M. Heidegger, G. Agamben and H. Arendt. This non-utilitarian aspect of technology is used to explain the social meaning of flint working in prehistory. The changes of flint technology related with so-called ‘tool technological revolution’ observed in Neolithic indicate radical shift in social significance of technology. During this period the dichotomous division of work and labor (described by H. Arendt) appear.

Tool Dichotomies in a Period of Inter-epochal Transition – Philosophical and Anthropological Reflections on Post-Neolithic Dual Technology

“…Analysing further the issue of the transition from the Stone Age to the Early Bronze Age -keeping in mind the issues of the management of flint raw materials at the time and the social implications of this phenomenon -it is worth emphasising that a certain interesting intellectual construct has recently been obtained by borrowing from twentieth-century thinkers, including phenomenologists (Mugaj 2017;cf. Wolski 2019a, 211-212).…”

“…Krause 2019). the analysis of this phenomenon -with the use of the abstract concepts of "convergence" and "divergence" in relation to human activities -is intended to verify the developmental tendencies of post-neolithic communities in the context of technological and economic behaviours (Mugaj 2017;Wolski 2019a, 212). this paper consists of three parts preceded by an introduction and crowned with a polemical ending that does not end the discussion.…”
