This article has two general aims. It first of all critically reconsiders the empirical turn’s dismissal of transcendentalism in the philosophy of technology, in particular through the work of Ihde and Verbeek, and defends the continuing relevance of the notion of the transcencental in thinking about technology today, illustrating this mainly through a reading of Stiegler’s understanding of the human condition as a technical condition and his view of human (noetic) evolution as proceeding from a process of technical exteriorization. The crucial issue that is missed by postphenomenology and the empirical turn is that technology itself in its empiricity occupies the (periodically changing) place of the transcendental. It thus fails to consider the transcendental operativity of technical artifacts within its own empiricist stance. Secondly, it argues for the continuing importance and usefulness of the idea of Technology with a capital T, equally discarded by the representatives of the empirical turn, in particular against the emerging backdrop of the Anthropocene as the age of decisive anthropogenic forcing of the planet and the growing dominance of what has recently been called the technosphere in Earth system science. With Stiegler I show that a proper, inherent dynamic of technology must be acknowledged historically, anthropologically, techno-evolutionarily as well as (techno)phenomenologically. I conclude by demonstrating that our time of planetary crisis summons us to redirect our attention to technology from the empirical to the transcendental, and from the micro-level to the macro-level again.

本文有两个总体目标。首先，它批判性地重新考虑了技术哲学中经验主义对超验主义的摒弃，特别是通过艾德和韦贝克的著作，并捍卫了超验者这一概念在当今技术思想中的持续相关性，主要通过一个例子来说明这一点。阅读斯蒂格勒对作为技术条件的人类状况的理解以及对人类（理性的）进化的看法，这些观点是从技术外部化的过程出发的。后现象学和经验转向遗漏的关键问题是，技术本身在经验上占据了先验的（周期性变化的）位置。因此，它没有考虑技术文物在其经验主义者立场下的超验可操作性。其次，它论证了具有资本T的技术思想的持续重要性和实用性，该经验资本的代表同样抛弃了资本T，特别是在人类世决定性的人为强迫的时代以及日益增长的人类世新背景下在最近被称为地球系统科学的技术圈的主导地位。在斯蒂格勒，我证明了必须在历史，人类学，技术进化以及（技术）现象学上承认技术的固有固有动力。最后，我通过证明我们的星球危机时代号召我们将注意力从经验转移到先验，再从微观转移到宏观。
