Heidegger. Technik, Gestell und Nihilismus

Abstract: Heidegger. Technology, Enframing, and Nihilism --- Martin Heidegger’s reflections on technology and nihilism analyze the challenges of the modern world. In his later writings, he describes technology as more than just tools; it is a mode of revealing that reduces the world to a mere stock of resources. This leads to the alienation of human beings who lose their intrinsic value and are perceived only as objects of calculation. Heidegger considers this perspective to be nihilistic, as it neglects meaning in Western metaphysics in favor of use and control. To escape this nihilistic tendency, he advocates for a shift towards an open relationship with being. The contribution is divided into three parts: the conception of technology, the meaning and genealogy of positionality, and the nihilistic implications and possible alternatives through a relational ontology.
