Resumen
This chapter will explain the philosophical problem of whether or not technical objects act as agents of human actions and will critically review Latour's exposition of his actor-network theory -in which he proposes symmetrical responsibilities between human and technical actants-, based on the asymmetries that may arise, depending on the context in which human actants use technicians. The contribution of this text lies in the development of these counterexamples. Both the exposition of Latour's thought and the aforementioned critique will be based on the text entitled: Of technical mediation: Philosophy, sociology, genealogy, beginning with Latour's critique of Heidegger's thought, a German philosopher who maintains that technique is the agency of human actions.
