LOPEZ MOROCHO, Luis Rodolfo. Reflections about problem of truth, science and technology and its implications in the educational field. Sophia [online]. 2021, n.31, pp.137-164. ISSN 1390-8626.  https://doi.org/10.17163/soph.n31.2021.05.

First, this research will be done a cartography about main streams of philosophy to understand present discussion about truth, knowledge and science considering a world marked by technology and the corresponding implications in education. In this sense, using the genealogical method I analyze the emergence of the technology concept to identify both the historical and conceptual conditions of possibility. This allows us to appreciate how the application and consolidation of modern science caused a break in the conception of technique to move to technology. In this way, the relationship between technology and the human being is analyzed under the confrontation of two opposite perspective, on the one hand, the reflections made by Martin Heidegger and on the other hand, the approaches made by Ortega y Gasset to make visible the dispute of the vision of technology. The results of this debate will allow us to appreciate the implications of the technological revolution in different fields of education, considering its limits and possibilities. Among the main findings is that modern science direct influences on the consolidation of technology as opposed to the traditional technique under positivist criteria that have monopolized the concept and knowledge about truth, set aside other spheres such as art, politics, or love. This has led to a growth of relativistic cultural positions. In addition, these aspects have marked the contemporary world, also affecting the educational field.
