ON TECHNOLOGY AND LIFE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF GEORGES CAGUILHEM AND XAVIER ZUBIRI'S THOUGHT

The paper inquires into the problem of the technological exploitation of the world on the basis of Xavier Zubiri's and Georges Canguilhem's thought. It examines Zubiri's analysis of hum an intelligence and Canguilhem's thesis regarding the primordial nature of technological activity, its relation to science, and its role in the normativity of the organism. In both authors, the term Urnwelt, translated as "surrounding-world" or behavioral environment, serves as the basis to establish the possibilities of technology in developing new forms of relationship with the environment.
