Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to describe and analyze views of Mihailo Marković on technics within its’ social context, but primarily relationship between technics and politics. Marković’s works on definitions of technics, role of modern technics in society and its’ infulence on chaning patterns of human behaviour, organization of labour and political organiza­tion of society are, in a way, representative for the „zeitgeist“, but in some aspect they are far beyond it. Pointing out deficiencies of one-sided approaches, he provides some unique and original insights, in­cluding a detailed analysis of those traits of modern technology that open great possibilities for misuse, but also bear huge potential for emancipation. Finally, one of major contributions of Mihailo Marko­vić in the field of politics and technics relations is his argumentation that politics can be seen as technics. Drawing from Machiavelli’s wor­ks, he also provides a general analysis in which he shows why such understanding of politics is possible.
