Abstract

According to one of the most insightful philosophical studies of our time, our era is characterized by the predominance of a technical-scientific rationality according to which only that which can be measured and calculated is considered true. Everything else either does not exist or does so only in a derivative, borrowed way.

The most surprising aspect of this entire process, however, is not so much the speed with which this form of rationality has colonized much of our world, but rather the fact that even philosophy itself —which precisely denounces it as one-sided— has so openly yielded to it, submitting to its rigid methodological demands.
