The Question Concerning Technology
null
Book •
Martin Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology" is a seminal work in philosophy of technology.
Heidegger challenges the conventional understanding of technology as merely a means to an end, arguing that it fundamentally shapes our relationship with the world.
He introduces the concept of 'Gestell,' or enframing, to describe how technology reduces beings to resources for human manipulation.
The essay explores the implications of this technological enframing for human existence and our understanding of truth.
Heidegger's work remains highly influential in shaping contemporary discussions about technology's impact on society and the environment.
