Bios, Techne, and Logos

Abstract

Tomas Kačerauska¹ conducted an etymological study on a few keywords associated with globalization: bios, techne, and logos. He carried out this study in the field of existential phenomenology, and suggested that our body is not separable from the spiritual environment. Techne manages the creation of interactive components between body and spirit. In transposing the reflection to a more extensive, planetary field, biological life (bios) is an inseparable part of the entire space-time system and is immersed in the spiritual environment. Conceptual reflection and language (logos) allow the context of the spiritual environment to be defined. The art of creation and also of continuous intervention activities on the planet keep this unavoidable intertwining in mind. Therefore, just as we can never imagine our body separate from the machines that surround us, it is likewise impossible to think of the Earth without the transformational activities of humans. Techne is the center of our reflections and applications (logos), while always maintaining close contact with bios.
