Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze Tolkien’s and Heidegger’s thoughts on technology with the aim of justifying that the metaphysical/ontological position of the second brings problems regarding the solution of the problem concerning technology that can be easily solved if one opts for a Tolkienian approach to the problem, that is, from a rather mundane or everyday dimension of humanity (or “hobbitry”, to be more precise).
