Description

This comprehensive collection offers a definitive account of Martin Heidegger's philosophy of technology. Through a detailed analysis of canonical texts and primary sources, it explores two crucial concepts in Heidegger's later thought: Gelassenheit and Gestell.

Heidegger's philosophy of technology is marked by its critique of modern industrialized society and the dangers of technological framing. This volume delves into key themes such as the history and development of modern technology, human agency, education, and the environmental impact of techno-scientific customs.

With contributions from renowned Heidegger scholars, this collection provides a nuanced understanding of Heidegger's involvement with the Nazis and its connection to his critique of technology. A valuable resource for students of Philosophy, Technology Studies, History of Science, Critical Theory, Environmental Studies, Education, Sociology, and Political Theory.
