We aim at presenting a debate proposal between Vittorio Hösle (1960-)’s philosophy of technology and environmental psychology, more specifically Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1934-2021)’s flow psychology. Hösle’s reflections on technology and ecology are an expansion of Hans Jonas (1903-1993)’s philosophy, although emphasizing other topics, such as values and economy. Based in parallels between Hösle and Csikszentmihalyi’s accounts, we attempt to verify affinities between environmental psychology and Hösle’s theses. Furthermore, based on current studies on flow psychology and environmental psychology, we verify if there is an amplification of philosophy of technology with the empirical content regarding ecology and economy, aiming at a deepened bond between both domains, such as proposed by Hösle himself, fostering the study of both thinkers, still pending further research in Brazil.
