The Technological Speech in the Ancient Greece.

Abstract

This paper aims to be a brief study on the ancient Greek concept of technology. The thesis that props it lies on the fact that the word tecnología [technology], in the ancient Greek context, names a concept whose complexity has not been studied deeply in the modern times. The contemporary studies has been focused well on the word tecné [technique]. Five authors, since the IV century b c., up to the II century a. d, are studied. This paper is divided into three pieces: the first one is devoted to the analysis of the dialectical method in Plato´s Phaedrus; the second one is devoted to interpret technology as a discursive model; and the third one to technology as a relationship, between the techniques, sustained by the mentioned discursive model
