NETTIES 2017 Conference

Dear Participants of NETTIES 2017, The year 2016 UNESCO celebrates the 2400th anniversary from

Aristotle’s birth as “Aristotle’s Anniversary Year”. It is important to

promote intellectual and cultural heritage of the whole world and the

contribution of the Aristotelian Thinking in the Technological Evolution

and Social Progress.

Aristotle Technology Theses attributed to Aristotle:

A. Technology imitates nature, such that there is no place for

authentic human creativity.

B. Technology in supplementing and completing nature fulfils but

the inherent aims of nature.

C. There is an ontological hiatus between natural things and

artifacts such that technology cannot reproduce or change

natural things.

Thesis A was borrowed from his opponents and does not place

constraints on technological creativity concerning new products,

procedures and goods. This only explains the common sense opinion

that technology is a national enterprise directed towards goals, without

saying anything about the specific goals of technology. In technology as

well as in nature, the way is directed step-by-step by the final goal.

Thesis B Aristotle acknowledged authentic human purposes different

from direct natural aims.

For Thesis C we can say that there is not a place in entire authentic

“corpus aristotelicum” where Aristotle explicitly places constraints on

human technological creativity, beyond the trivial limitation that

technicians must start with raw natural products and can do only what

is ontologically possible.
