This paper carries out a critique of most of the 20th century´s philosophical reflections on technology, while at the same time proposes to move forward towards a comprehension of technology as an integral and fundamental part of life, understanding it as an organon of the organism that every living being is. Against technology´s rejection from authors as Habermas, and against the ambiguous treatment from other authors as Heidegger, we will oppose proposals as the ones from Ortega, Blumenberg, Stiegler or Sloterdijk, heterogeneous authors that, nonetheless, share a common defense of the necessity of overcoming the dichotomy between life and artifice
