Sažetak
The article aims to examine the relationship of modern man to human body, with an emphasis on understanding of the purpose of human body as such, in José Ortega y Gasset’s work “Man the Technician” (1941). We shall examine the following questions: a) what impact has the postulation of dystopian future on our attitude towards technology, b) can we claim that modern man thinks of the human body as a machine, c) does the idea of the body as a machine represent a telos to the modern man? A philosophical discussion on the term techne will serve as the basis for discussing the issues of “What is man?” and “What will man become?” as it is understood in the philosophy of Ortega y Gasset.
