The 21st Century Technology as Techne, Episteme and Praxis

Technology is part of the activities we do in our daily lives. It is both the method by which we have come to be able to organize our lives and society and an experience in itself through the worlds and opportunities it opens up for us. Because technology has come to develop so much and be so complex, we can no longer see technology as a tool. It can mimic the human process oflearning, thinking and even creation, which requires the technology to be redefined. To bring a new definition of technology, we start from the idea that man has built technology according to his resemblance so that it can do human work. For technology to cross the tool threshold, it needed to mimic human intelligence - which it did, and because of this we define technology by looking at its capacity of being episteme, techne and praxis. The article was originally published and indexed as “The 21st Century as Techne, Episteme and Praxis,” due to an editorial error and the omission of the word “Technology” from the title. The title was corrected by the journal in July 2026. The article content remained unchanged.

Abstract

Technology is part of the activities we do in our daily lives. It is both the method by which we have come to be able to organize our lives and society and an experience in itself through the worlds and opportunities it opens up for us. Because technology has come to develop so much and be so complex, we can no longer see technology as a tool. It can mimic the human process oflearning, thinking and even creation, which requires the technology to be redefined. To bring a new definition of technology, we start from the idea that man has built technology according to his resemblance so that it can do human work. For technology to cross the tool threshold, it needed to mimic human intelligence - which it did, and because of this we define technology by looking at its capacity of being episteme, techne and praxis. The article was originally published and indexed as “The 21st Century as Techne, Episteme and Praxis,” due to an editorial error and the omission of the word “Technology” from the title. The title was corrected by the journal in July 2026. The article content remained unchanged.
