The article takes as its starting point the comparison between two influential figures in the thought of technology, rarely addressed together. Gunther Anders and Bernard Stiegler reflect on tech-nique starting from the need to rethink the very conditions of human experience from the tech-nical fact. Although their conclusions do not converge, for the two authors time as pure a priori intuition gives way to an a posteriori understanding of time. Both Anders and Stiegler offer ex-pansive and long-term theoretical frameworks that call for a reconsideration of human identity in a world increasingly influenced by machines. By comparing their works, the article highlights the tension between human existence and the accelerating pace of technological development, offering a critical reflection on the transformations that lie ahead for humanity in the face of its own creation.
