La question de l’homme en rapport avec la technique : une lecture analytique d’une histoire des techniques de Bruno Jacomy

Abstract

Technology is an integral part of human life, from the primitive Age to the most recent innovation of our time. Given what we have just said, the technical company responds to a mutational dynamic orchestrated by human intelligence. Man manifests himself through technology, because it modifies the ways of acting, thinking and being of men. Thus, this work consists of reflexively taking charge of the question of the relationship between man and technology. To do this, this reflection has the theme "The question of man in relation to technology: A reading analysis of A History of Techniques by Bruno Jacomy". According to the author of The Age of the Plip: Chronicles of Technical Evolution (2002), the evolution of technology depends on the evocation of man. In other words, we can only talk about technology through the man who designs it. The enterprise of technology is therefore the sensitive manifestation of human intelligence. To this end, the fundamental difficulty on which this reflection is based is that of the nature of man's relationship with technology. In other words, what relationship really exists between technology and man? Better yet, is there a relationship of interdependence between man and the technical phenomenon? Ultimately, what relevance can Bruno Jacomy's thesis have? To this end, the method on which this research work is based is the historical-critical one. Thus, by subdividing this work into three fundamental moments, first of all, it is a question of tracing, chronologically, the evolution of technology, from the primitive Age to scientific modernity, as schematized by Bruno Jacomy. The second part aims to question the prospects of a science under the influence of industry. Finally, the third part questions the la pertinence relevance’s of Jacomian thought in Africa.Keywords: Technical knowledge, primitive age, science, techno-science.
