There have been two trends in the study of technology. On the one hand, critics of technology have emphasised the threats stemming from the development and use of advanced machines and devices, while on the other hand, there has been admiration for the successes brought by progress. The article presents an attempt to put this complex issue in order. Based on the analysis formulated by Andrew Feenberg, the text discusses four concepts of technology. The first of them is technical determinism, according to which technology in its development is independent of circumstances external to it. The second is substantive theory, in which technology is seen as an autonomous, independent force that dominates and subordinates everything. The third position is instrumentalism, which considers technique as a neutral tool, while moral evaluation can only concern whether it has been used well or badly. The last approach is constructivism, according to which technology is shaped by the influence of various interest groups.

It works on humanistic foundation of Osiander’s thought and his elaboration of the tradition of the antient wisdom and Christian cabbala of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola in particular in the biblical exegesis. The article deals with Osiander’s edition of Nicolaus Copernicus’ book De revolutionibus orbium caelestium as well and with his edition of the mathematical work of Girolamo Cardano. In the context of philosophy of science Osiander’s foreword to Copernicus is analyzed and its role in the controversy between instrumentalism and realism is assessed. Osiander’s instrumentalism is viewed as an anachronism. Finally, the influence of Neoplatonism and Paracelsism in Osiander’s theology is analyzed and judged as too general.

Článek pojednává o roli luteránského teologa Andrease Osiandera st. v dějinách filosofie, vědy a ve filosofii vědy. V chronologickém sledu je v tomto kontextu věnována pozornost několika tématům. Nejprve se článek zabývá humanistickými základy Osianderova myšlení a jeho zpracováním tradice prisca sapientia v teologii, především vlivem křesťanské kabaly v návaznosti na Giovanniho Pika della Mirandolu, konkrétně v biblické exegesi. Pozornost je dále věnována především Osianderově edici knihy O obězích nebeských sfér Mikuláše Koperníka. V kontextu fi losofi e vědy je pak rozebírána Osianderova předmluva ke Koperníkovi, posuzována jeho role ve sporu mezi instrumentalismem a realismem ve vědě a zdůvodněn anachronismus této extrapolace. Je zmíněna také Osianderova edice matematického díla Girolama Cardana. Následně je analyzována role novoplatonismu v Osianderově teologii, která se blíží paracelsiánskému přístupu, i když vliv jak paracelsismu tak novoplatonismu je zhodnocen jako velmi obecný.
