El ser humano entre técnica y sobrenaturaleza

Abstract

Technology, as a phenomenon encompassing the entirety

of humanity, needs the body to transform reality. Technology contrib-

utes significantly to the definition of humanity and its supernatural

dimension. This supernatural dimension is the peculiar condition of

the individual, situated between biological needs—imposed by their

body in relation to reality—and their technical and creative capacity.

Human life—by virtue of its vocation—is characterized by its unique

and unusual condition of intertwining biology and biography. For this

reason, human beings are novelists of themselves in the sense that they

challenge the limited and already given reality that is also identified

with their nature, as we shall see, and create the possible, the imagi-

nary, the virtual in which to project themselves and live always new

possibilities of being something more.
