The paper concerns on G.W. F. Hegel’s philosophy of technology. By assuming two methodological strategies – reading selected paragraphs of Hegel’s texts where he speaks about technology and deducing the essence of technology as a concept – this paper describes the key ideas shaping the German idealist’s philosophy of technology. Three main issues are discussed: 1. the role Hegel assigns to the instrumental action of man; 2. the relation between tool production and culture as objectivisation of the human being; and 3. why technology is dialectical. The aim is therefore to show that Hegelian notions such as “mediation”, “cunning of reason”, and “dialectics”, were meant by Hegel himself to be used to think about technology, which is necessary to develop their full potential in contemporary discussions about technological progress, and to thus fill the gap in philosophy of technology caused by misinterpretations of Hegel as a pure idealist with no interest in technology.

In the article the bodily form of human being described in science fiction novels of Oles’ Berdnyk is analysed. The author shows the main aspects of writer’s views on correlation of man and his body which were formed by neoromanticism, socialist realism and rethinking of positive philosophy made into science fiction. In the article writer’s opposition between a man and a machine is considered too. In spite of predominant understanding of machine’s significance and leading position in science fiction, in particular cyberpunk, Berdnyk shows us the denial of mechanized life and algorithmization of human nature. Also the evolution of human body into the beautiful monster described in Berdnyk’s works is shown. The human spirit is the main reason for such transformation. Sensual elements of the body do not come out of clear and marked manifestation because of appeal to reason in the writer’s texts. In addition, Berdnyk’s reduction of perception of the body is caused by keeping within the bounds of socialist realism.

George Canguilhem’s 1947 lecture, ‘Machine and organism,’ is a rich source of ideas for thinking about the relationships between living organisms and machines. He takes all tools and machines to be extensions of the body, and part of life itself (which does not make machines any more good or bad than every living organism is good or bad). These insights are updated with a discussion of cyborgs. An account is given of the original idea of the cyborg (Clynes and Kline, 1960), and of its transformations in science fiction and at the hands of Donna Haraway and Andrew Pickering. Canguilhem is profoundly anti-Cartesian, but on account of his vision of life which breaks down the old barriers between natural and artificial, mind and body, manufactured and created.
