Technique of Nature. In this work we will present, first of all, the concept of “technique of nature” in the Critique of the Power of Judgment from the historical sources of the concept of technique, its link and / or contrast with the concept of nature, to highlight the peculiar bond that Kant realizes in the idea of a “technique of nature”. In a second point, we will present the concept of “technique of nature” in the most significant passages of the work and, particularly, in the Critique of the Teleological Power of Judgment. The T. of the N. is the concept of nature as art, so that the technical representation of it is opposed to mechanical representation and requires thinking the relation. In a third point, we will raise the value of this concept for the interpretation of the third Critique and the current discussion among the interpreters of Kantian thought. In a last point we offer a bibliographic list about the concept in question.
