Abstract
The article compares two significant theoretical approaches to the study of the phenomenon of technology. Research by A. Gehlen and H. Schelsky became an important milestone in the development of German philosophy of technology of the 20th century. A number of provisions of the considered philosophers retain their relevance in our time, in particular, those about the radical transformation of human identity in technical civilization. The Leipzig school in sociology is currently a little-studied intellectual project in Russia, within which the original concept of the society of modern era has been proposed. The article reveals both the similarities and differences in the theories under consideration.
