This collection offers the first comprehensive and definitive
account of Martin Heidegger's philosophy of technology. It does so
through a detailed analysis of canonical texts and recently
published primary sources on two crucial concepts in Heidegger's
later thought: Gelassenheit and Gestell. Gelassenheit, translated
as 'releasement', and Gestell, often translated as 'enframing',
stand as opposing ideas in Heidegger's work whereby the meditative
thinking of Gelassenheit counters the dangers of our technological
framing of the world in Gestell. After opening with a scholarly
overview of Heidegger's philosophy of technology as a whole, this
volume focuses on important Heideggerian critiques of science,
technology, and modern industrialized society as well as
Heidegger's belief that transformations in our thought processes
enable us to resist the restrictive domain of modern
techno-scientific practice. Key themes discussed in this collection
include: the history, development, and defining features of modern
technology; the relationship between scientific theories and their
technological instantiations; the nature of human agency and the
essence of education in the age of technology; and the ethical,
political, and environmental impact of our current
techno-scientific customs. This volume also addresses the
connection between Heidegger's critique of technology and his
involvement with the Nazis. Finally, and with contributions from a
number of renowned Heidegger scholars, the original essays in this
collection will be of great interest to students of Philosophy,
Technology Studies, the History of Science, Critical Theory,
Environmental Studies, Education, Sociology, and Political Theory.
