    Introduction: From a philosophical discussion with regard to the intellectual formation of the human being, we discuss herein how literature can have a Formative-Aesthetic Potential able to foster an Aesthetic Criticism of Technical Rationality, which can be considered, based on the ideas of philosophers such as Habermas, Marcuse, and Horkheimer, as a control mechanism within the capitalist mode of production. Objectives: Based on a discussion about the concept of aesthetic and how it is linked to the knowledge that comes from science and technology, we propose the reading of classical universal literature as a means to foster the criticism of Technical Rationality. Therefore, our goal is, based on a didactic empirical experience, to assess the aesthetical potential of literature within the following scopes: Conceptual (that is, what can be construed as technology and correlated concepts); Productive (in this sense, reflect both on what is being produced, as well as, to whom and why, and the consequences); Operational (that is, to reflect on the professional action, its meanings, forms, and consequences). Methodology: Our research is based on the empirical experience of reading classics from universal literature through the methodology of the Humanities and Technology Laboratory, a complementary activity offered to undergraduate technology courses students at the Federal University of São Paulo. For data collection we used Participant Observation and Oral History of Life and, as a way of guiding the analysis, we base ourselves on Hermeneutic Phenomenology. Results and Discussion: Our results point to the potential of our activity, based on an aesthetic understanding of the formation of Aesthetic Rationality, which is capable of fostering critical analysis, both conceptual and in the field of practice, regarding the technology within its various scopes, both conceptual and of orientation to a social practice. Conclusion: We conclude by stating that technology also has an aesthetic and formative role that must be considered when searching for technological solutions and innovation. Thus, we formulate a postulate where the aesthetic understanding of technology must undergo a reflection which is also aesthetic, and literature, through our methodology, can provide what we suggest as an objective to carry out this research.
