Hans Blumenberg's observations around a spiritual history of technology, which displace anthropological as well as scientist perspectives of technology, constitute a fundamental touchstone. Thus, Blumenberg places the emergence of technology in his analyses of the transition from the Middle Ages to Modernity, underlining how the concern for the theology of the creation of late scholastics is called into question and a new path opens that will consist of the self-affirmation of the human being. It is in this change of epoch that technology acquires a new status, previously unthinkable, as a way of self-affirmation of the human being. The spiritual history of technology discards, on the one hand, the history of inventors and inventions, and on the other hand denies the position that technology is a mere application of science. On the contrary, its “spiritual” imprint refers to the investigation of the historical assumptions that make such an emergency possible and the receptions/innovations that technology has produced. El objetivo de este trabajo es sostener el carácter epocal de la tecnología, lo cual requirió la convergencia de transformaciones intelectuales como sociales. Las observaciones de Hans Blumenberg en torno a una historia espiritual de la tecnología, que desplaza las perspectivas antropológicas y cientificistas de esta, constituyen una piedra de toque fundamental para esta comprensión. La tecnología en tanto fenómeno histórico es un tema y signatura de una época particular la Modernidad. Así, Blumenberg sitúa la emergencia de la tecnología en sus análisis del tránsito de la Edad Media a la Modernidad, subrayando como la preocupación por la teología de la creación de la escolástica tardía se pone en cuestión y se abre una nueva vía: la autoafirmación del ser humano. Es en este cambio de época que la tecnología adquiere un nuevo estatus, impensado anteriormente, como una vía de autoafirmación del ser humano. La historia espiritual de la tecnología desplaza la historia de los inventores y las invenciones, así como niega la posición de que la tecnología sea una mera aplicación de la ciencia. En contrario, la impronta “espiritual” remite a la investigación de los presupuestos históricos que hacen posible su emergencia, así como las recepciones/innovaciones que la tecnología ha producido.
