Thus understood, modern technology is a "danger" for Heidegger, first, because its totalizing logic threatens to exhaust all revealing, to lock everything, including human beings, into the order of resources; and second, because it induces the image of a human subject as the master of her machine-tools. What these two dangers—i.e., dominance and mastery—have in common is that they misrepresent the unconcealment of being. Against the view that Heidegger wants to preserve a degree of humanity from technology's grip by retrieving its original sense in the Greek poiesis, I advance the view that only by suffering through the non-truths of mastery and dominance can the human being open to the "essence" of modern technology. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
