The document discusses the essence and dangers of modern technology, emphasizing Heidegger's distinction between revealing through techne and enframing as a process that reduces objects to mere resources. It contrasts calculative thinking, which seeks to control nature, with meditative thinking that fosters an appreciation for nature's inherent value. Finally, it posits art as a necessary counterbalance to technology, encouraging reflection and a more harmonious relationship with the world.

DEFINITION

4. HEIDEGGER’S VIEW ON
TECHNOLOGY
Heidegger stressed that the true can
only be pursued through the correct.
Technology as a Way of
Revealing

5. Bringing forth
Poiesis
Aletheia

6. TECHNOLOGY IS A FORM OF
POIESIS- A WAY OF
revealing that unconceals
aletheia or the
truth.

7. Techne
• In philosophy, techne resembles
the term episteme that refer to
the human ability to make and
perform.
• In art
• Greek understood techne

8. TECHNOLOGY AS POIESIS:
DOES
MODERN TECHNOLOGY
BRING FORTH
OR CHALLENGE FORTH?
Heidegger, in The
Question Concerning
Technology,
postulated that both
primitive crafts and
modernAtechnology
are revealing.
Revealing of modern
technology is not a
bringing-forth, but a
challenging-forth.
Challenging forth
reduces objects as
standing-reserve or
something to be
disposed of by those
who enframe
themhumans.

10. ENFRAMING
TECHNOLOGY’S
REVEALING AS MODERN
OF WAY
Heidegger distinguished
the way of revealing of
modern technology by
considering enframing it
as a process of enframing.
CALCULATIVE
THINKING - humans
desire to put an order to
nature to better
understand and
control it
MEDITATIVE
THINKING - to notice,
to observe, to ponder, to
awaken an awareness of
what is actually taking
place around us and in
us.

11. Enframing - is a way of
ordering (or framing) nature
to better manipulate it.
• The role of humans take as
instruments of technology through
enframing is called destining.

12. THE DANGERS OF TECHNOLOGY
Lie on how humans let themselves be consumed by it. The
responsibility of humans is to recognize how they become
instruments of technology.

13. ART AS THE SAVING POWER
Necessary reflection upon and confrontation with technology are
required in order to proactively address the dangers of
technology.

14. Art encourages human to think less from
calculative standpoint where nature is
viewed as an ordered system. Instead, it
inspires meditative thinking where nature
is seen an art and that without any force
and violence.
