Resumen
El pesimismo tecnológico es una perspectiva que, desde mediados del siglo XX, se popularizó tanto en círculos intelectuales como en la cultura popular, convirtiéndose en una de las maneras más comunes de pensar la tecnología. En el presente trabajo caracterizaremos el estilo de pensamiento esencialista, mostrando de qué manera permea dicha perspectiva de la tecnología, dotando a esta de autonomía y considerándola una fuente intrínseca de consecuencias nefastas, tanto para la sociedad como para la naturaleza. Se hará una reconstrucción histórica de la perspectiva esencialista, caracterizando su formulación en el pensamiento filosófico de Aristóteles. A partir de allí, se indagará en el modo en que la perspectiva esencialista se despliega frente a la tecnología tanto en círculos académicos como en la cultura popular. Sobre el final, se expondrá el caso de los organismos genéticamente modificados (OGM) como un espacio de debate donde podremos ver el estilo de pensamiento esencialista movilizado.
Technological pessimism is a perspective that, since the middle of the 20th century, became popular both in intellectual circles and in popular culture, becoming one of the most common ways of thinking about technology. In this paper we will characterize the essentialist thought style, showing how it permeates this perspective of technology, endowing it with autonomy, and as an intrinsic source of dire consequences, both for society and for nature. A historical reconstruction of the essentialist perspective will be made, characterizing its formulation in Aristotle’s philosophical thought. From there, we will investigate the way in which the essentialist perspective is deployed before technology in academia, as well as in popular culture. Finally, the case of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) will be presented as a space of debate where we can see the essentialist thought style mobilized.
