| description | This paper aims to discuss the concept of technology as provided by the Brazilian philosopher Álvaro Vieira Pinto. First, the philosopher’s life and work are presented, his book “O conceito de tecnologia” [The concept of technology] and his methodological foundations are briefly examined and, finally, we discuss his conceptualization of technology. From the four meanings of the term unravelled by the author, we highlight technology as the “logos of technique”, as the philosopher proposes it as a unitary field of study on this matter. We conclude pointing the richness of his reflections to the liberation of underdeveloped countries. |
