Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the relation and the co-foundation between the living body [Leib] and technology in a Husser-lian approach. I want to assert the necessity of abandoning the classical concept of the Leib as a naked and natural being, constituting itself by its biological features. Studying the action of technology, firstly as mere extension and secondly as incorporation, the co-foundational relation between technol-ogy and Leib will be evident. However, even if there is a cultural and historical foundation, there remains the necessity of a natural Leib being the base of the subject's practical level. Leib appears to be natural and cultural at the same time, it depends on what you are looking for.
