Abstract
The aim of this paper is to consider the Gehlen’s critique of modernity through his concept of the awkwardness of technology. In order to highlight his philosophical anthropology, I will focus on the special relationship between humankind and the multitude of objects that surround us in everyday life. To clarify this relationship in the age of modernity, firstly I tackle two key concepts of Gehlen’s work. If with the notion of ‘technological action’ I will focus on anthropobiological aspects, through his idea of ‘imagination’ I will handle psychosocial problems. Only after this overview I will deeply focus on the sociological and psychological aspects of modern technology and their effects on contemporary man.
