This paper intends to establish a dialogue between Vilém Flusser and Walter Benjamin, considering their similarities and their differences. First, this approximation is inscribed in the philosophy of language, in which both authors take the category of “nomination” as a primordial act. Second, their common interest in technology and media, as determining elements in modern society, leads to a fertile and critical discussion towards the concepts of “technological reproducibility” and “technical image”. Finally, and no less important, is the philosophy of history, in which their positions contrast: their concepts of “history” and “post-history” are defined by the opposition between continuity and discontinuity. According to Flusser, history is essentially linear. It starts with the invention of writing and ends with the invention of technical images in post-history, which is essentially discontinuous. Benjamin, on the other hand, declines the concept of history as continuity, and develops a model based upon the principle of “assemblage”, in which history and post-history are simultaneously embraced. Flusser’s concept of post-history, nevertheless, is similar to Benjamin’s concept of history in some aspects, mainly in their common emphasis upon technical images. The crucial difference between them lies in the word “post-history” (Nachgeschichte), or “posterior history”, which in Benjamin does not have the same substantive meaning Flusser gives it, nor does it designate a specific period.

Resumen:
En el presente artículo se profundiza en el concepto de "antropotécnica", desarrollado in extenso por Sloterdijk en una de sus obras más recientes, Has de cambiar tu vida, donde se aborda la historia de la intervención del hombre sobre el hombre, desde las antiguas tradiciones filosóficas de Oriente y Occidente hasta internarse en las modernas tecnologías génicas. Sloterdijk sostendrá que es a través de la noción de antropotécnica por la que el hombre des-oculta los caracteres latentes de su prehumanidad.  Es a causa de su infradotación orgánica que el ser humano despliega su potencial técnico. No es, entonces, que el hombre haga "uso" de la técnica, sino que el hombre es, en sí mismo, un animal técnico.
