THE PHILOSOPHY OF TECHNOLOGY - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
THE ONTOLOGY OF TECHNIQUE Technique does not begin with the machine, it does not begin with the industrial revolution, nor with modern science, nor even with the construction of the first complex tools. It is the way in which the indefinite is organized into definite form, the multiplicity is ordered, flow is fixed into repeatable patterns, contingency is turned into program, and action acquires rule, method, sequence, and purpose.
