Summary/Abstract: One of the most current topics today is the topic of technique, and the progress of new technologies and their relationship to man and the world in which he builds life and reality. In this thematic framework, based on the philosophy of technique and technology, the text analyses and questions the meaning of the concept of technique, which originated in the Greek term Techne, and man’s position in the new age. In this way, we need to get to know and deal with this term, which gives meaning to today’s term ‘technique’. There exists also an obligation to understand them properly, which stems from the inadmissible use of the terms techne, technique and technology as synonyms. Examining the meaning of the subject of technique and new technologies is necessarily connected to the issues of man, knowledge, and reality. In the process of examining the meaning of the above, the text recognizes, reveals, and defines the understanding of techne as a departure point for understanding the phenomenon of technology, from which the question of truth and knowledge is determined as being a determinant of the entire human reality. An integral part of the reality of modern man, first of all, is technique and technical achievements in which technology transforms fields that concern every segment of man and society. Techniques, new technologies, the world and human reality and the very relationship of man to that world cannot be ignored, so dealing with these issues is an opinion that necessarily applies to us.
