9780060904197: Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays (Colophon Books)

Synopsis

To read Heidegger is to set out on an adventure. The essays in this volume ~ intriguing, challenging, and often baffling to the reader ~ call him always to abandon all superficial scanning and to enter wholeheartedly into the serious pursuit of thinking... Heidegger is not a 'primitive' or a 'romanitic.' He is not one who seeks escape from the burdens and responsibilities of contemporary life into serenity, either through the re~creating of some idyllic past or through the exalting of some simple experience. Finally, Heidegger is not a foe of technology and science. He neither disdains nor rejects them as though they were only destructive of human life.
