Reseña del libro "Elements of a Philosophy of Technology: On the Evolutionary History of Culture (Posthumanities) (en Inglés)"
The first philosophy of technology, constructing humans as technological and technology as an underpinning of all culture Ernst Kapp was a foundational scholar in the fields of media theory and philosophy of technology. His 1877 Elements of a Philosophy of Technology is a visionary study of the human body and its relationship with the world that surrounds it. At the book\u2019s core is the concept of \u201corgan projection\u201d: the notion that humans use technology in an effort to project their organs to the outside, to be understood as \u201cthe soul apparently stepping out of the body in the form of a sending-out of mental qualities\u201d into the world of artifacts.Kapp applies this theory of organ projection to various areas of the material world-the axe externalizes the arm, the lens the eye, the telegraphic system the neural network. From the first tools to acoustic instruments, from architecture to the steam engine and the mechanic routes of the railway, Kapp\u2019s analysis shifts from \u201csimple\u201d tools to more complex network technologies to examine the projection of relations. What emerges from Kapp\u2019s prophetic work is nothing less than the emergence of early elements of a cybernetic paradigm.
