Summary:The reflection herewith presented has, as theoretical guidelines, the approaches taken by José Luis Molinuevo in his text Humanism and New Technologies, and José Ortega y Gasset ́s Meditation about technique and other essays on science and philosophy. Similarly, some ideas from Martin Heidegger ́s Letters on Humanism and Science and Technology were considered. It is thus how the question implied in this text is whether man, in this unbridled career towards science and technology, has lost his status and quality as a rational subject, wondering if his conditions and the modes of rationality as a modern man are proper to him, or, to the contrary, there is a current loss, in a way of a mismatch, between what is traditionally known as a “human” and what really man is today, or whether the concepts of “human” and “humanity” will be completely renovated.
