Máquinas térmicas desde la Antigüedad al siglo XVII: análisis histórico desde la Filosofía de la Técnica (2020)

unapi

En el presente trabajo se propone un análisis histórico, apoyado en el marco propuesto por Miguel Ángel Quintanilla en su filosofía de la técnica, de una genealogía de máquinas térmicas desde la antigüedad hasta el siglo XVII. Se espera así trazar una línea histórica que permita mostrar una continuidad relevante entre dichos artefactos y las máquinas térmicas contemporáneas, cuya historia, afirmamos, a diferencia de lo que suele proponerse en la bibliografía al respecto, no comienza en la máquina de vapor sino mucho antes. La filosofía sistémica de la técnica de Quintanilla permitirá iluminar las estructuras de los sistemas técnicos de los cuales los artefactos a analizar forman parte, y así argumentar que son antecedentes necesarios a las máquinas térmicas contemporáneas. En tal sentido, afirmamos que los análisis históricos sobre las máquinas térmicas contemporáneas y sobre la termodinámica se verían enriquecidos por la inclusión de la línea genealógica de artefactos aquí presentados. In the present article we present a historical analysis, supported by the framework proposed by Miguel Ángel Quintanilla in his philosophy of technique, of a genealogy of thermal machines from antiquity to 17th century. We intend to draw a historical line that allow us to show a relevant continuity between such artifacts and contemporaneous thermal machines, whose history, we argue, do not start with the steam machine but much earlier. Quintanilla’s systemic philosophy of technique allows to enlighten the structures of the technical systems in which the artifacts to analyze are embedded, in order to argue that they are necessary antecedents to contemporary thermal machines. In that sense, we affirm that histo-rical analysis about contemporary thermal machines and about thermodynamics would be enriched by the inclusion of the genealogic line of artifacts here presented.
