Bernhard Irrgang develops a phenomenology and hermeneutics of technical handling, which he understands as a method of analyzing and interpreting framing questions regarding hypermodern technological civilizations.

Archetypes, models, designs and concepts of technical and non-technical kinds, embedded into culture and economics have to be examined with respect to the interpretation of models and images, which guide their handling
