The philosophy is a creation of human genius that seeks to know the complexity of the reality of things in a profound, radical way and as a whole. Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (1992) state that if philosophy were considered a science, it would be the science of creating concepts. From this perspective, it is an activity of systematized thinking that seeks to conceptually reflect on the demands of reality in order to know the causes of the problems that surround it. Thus, this article seeks to reflect on the problem of technique and technology related to the concept of instrumental reason, created by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. The ethical question that surrounds this problem will be connected with the concept of responsibility principle, thought and elaborated by the philosopher Hans Jonas. The expression “digital world” is something very current and basically concerns the use and insertion of digital technologies in people's daily lives. The methodology used is the bibliographic review in which we perform an intertwining of three elements: instrumental reason, principle of responsibility and digital world, whose effort is to dialogue about the technological instrumental reason in the contemporary world.
