Abstract

In this paper, I put into question Diego Parente’s claim that there is no place for the term ‘prosthesis’ in the vocabulary of the Philosophy of Technique, and I correspondingly aim to show how such a concept could be developed. Firstly, I distinguish the term ‘prosthesis’ form the old conception in the philosophy of technique and, then, I try to show that the remaining concept can resist three main problems that Parente found in the old conception of ‘prosthesis.’
