📘 The question concerning technology, and other essays by Martin Heidegger

The Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays assembles several of Martin Heidegger’s key writings on the concept of technology, including his seminal address "The Question Concerning Technology." The essays span lectures and addresses, discussing how technology frames human experience and the ontological structure of Being. Heidegger investigates technology not merely as a tool but as a mode of revealing that shapes the conditions of existence. He questions the dominion of technological enframing, arguing that contemporary technological thinking obscures the authentic way of thinking about Being.

📘 Introduction to metaphysics

by Martin Heidegger

Why is there anything at all, instead of nothing? How are we to understand what it is to be? Heidegger argues, in magisterial, flowing and esoteric language, that Western civilisation has gone wrong because it has systematically misunderstood this question. Instead, he claims that we have tried to understand physical things themselves. We have confused appearance with reality: we have replaced understanding with reason, wonder with technology, and use with exploitation. His answer is a return to the beginnings of our thinking to achieve a more sustainable view of the world and a correct view of our limited but central place as thinking beings in it.
