Q

❖ He begins “The Question Concerning Technology” by examining the relationship between humans and technology, a relationship he calls a free relationship. If this relationship is free, it opens our human existence to the essence of technology”. This essence of technology, however, has nothing to do with technology. Rather, as Heidegger suggests, ‘The essence of a thing is considered to be what the thing is.”
❖ He examines two definitions of technology.
Firstly, he offers that “Technology is a means to an end”(Instrumental definition). Secondly, he proposes that “Technology is a human activity (Anthropological definition).

24
Q

The Question Concerning Technology (P1)

A
    1. Heidegger begins by portraying his investigation of technology as the building of a path.
    1. He examines the common understanding of technology as a neutral instrument under the control of humans.
  • He proposes to get to the true sense via the correct sense
    1. He analyses the notion of instrumentality to reach the truth or the essence of technology- it is traced to causality.
    1. Technology is a very particular kind of revealing to, and the description articulates the key terms of Heidegger’s philosophy of technology: Modern technology challenges-forth nature to yield treasures to humans; technology sets-upon (positions and orders) the yields of nature so that they are available and of humans, becoming part of the standing reserve.
25
Q

The Question Concerning Technology (P2)

A

5.He discusses the relation of modern science to the essence of technology-
* He claims for the sciences the aggressive approach to nature that goes well with technology, but poorly with science.
* 6. The enframing of technology is destiny.
* Destiny is neither an inevitable fate that descends on humanity nor the result of human willing.
* Disclosure of destiny and human freedom are one and the same.
* 7. There is a twofold danger to destiny.
* One is the danger that human being reduces itself to standing reserve and in so appearing to have taken total control encounters nothing any more.
* The other is the danger that the disclosure of the enframing forecloses every other
dispensation and conceals that too is a disclosure.
* 8. Still the enframing is a disclosure. It involves human being, therefore harbors the possibility of saving power.

Q

Basahin mo

A

 The bringing forth-poesis-which underlies causality is a bringing out of concealment.
 The revealing is what the Greeks call truth-Aletheia- means unhiddedness or disclosure.
 Technology brings forth as well , and it is a revealing.
 This is seen in the way the Greeks understood techne, which encompasses not only craft, but
other acts of the mind and poetry.
 Heidegger characterizes modern technology as a challenging forth- very aggressive in its activity.
 With modern technology, revealing never comes to an end.
 The revealing always happens on our own terms as everything is on demand.
 He also described modern technology as the age of switches, standing reserve and stockpiling for its own sake

29
Q

Questioning as the Piety of Thought

A

➢ Piety means obedience and submission.
➢ One builds a way towards knowing the truth who he/ she is as a being in this world.
➢ Thus we shall never experience our relationship to the essence of technology so long as we merely represent and pursue the technological, put up with it, or evade it. Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it. But we are delivered over to it in the worst possible way when we regard it as something neutral; for this conception of it, to which today we particularly like to pay homage, makes us utterly blind to the essence of technology (1977,p1)
➢ ENFRAMING: WAY OF REVEALING IN MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Calculative thinking
➢ One orders and puts a system to nature so it can be understood better and controlled

➢ One lets nature reveal itself to him/ her without forcing it.
