Abstract

The notion of technodiversity is analyzed from a praxiological and not ontological approach, unlike Yuk Hui (2020). A distinction is made between techniques, technologies and technosciences, and the philosophical relevance of the various common techniques is affirmed against the dominant technologism in the recent philosophy of technology. Technodiversity is closely related to cultural and linguistic diversity, but also to biodiversity. It is also stated that anthropology, having dealt with various types of techniques (bodily, mental, social, artistic, religious, sports, etc.) can contribute a lot to a pluralistic philosophy of technique and technodiversity. Finally, the Heideggerian metaphysics of technique, centered on Being, is criticized and an axiological philosophy based on actions, technical systems and doings is advocated, which recognizes the technical dimension of languages ​​(Ortega y Gasset, Mumford, etc.).
