Machines and mechanisms
Main Article Content
Abstract
For modern man machines are means of production, but their presence relatively recent in the history of mankind results from a Faustian pact, where the loss of a cosmological vision was traded by the domination and use of nature. Machine means fragmentation of knowledge and also standardization. While propitiating better material conditions for living, it also leads to the impoverishment of man's spirit.
