A Change of Direction. Notes on the Circular Economy
Abstract
Informations and abstract
Keywords: Circular Economy; Technology; Craft; Ethic.
Technology, the classics remind us, is the true mediation between man and nature, between the vital world of humans and the artificial world of digital devices. Safeguarding everyday knowledge, the knowledge related to crafts, from the simplest to the most complex, allows us to interact with the technical systems that surround us without being overwhelmed. The circular economy is not just a technical fact, a productive activity without «wastes», but shared knowledge that becomes an ethic.
