Abstract

In the following chapter we will stress some essential points regarding Heidegger's questioning about modern technology and will do so by using two earlier texts in which technology is discussed, namely, sections 4–6 from "Die ewige Wiederkehr des Gleichen"¹ and a text called "Seinsverlassenheit und Irrnis".² Our exposition proposes to be as brief as possible, taking into account only what we assess as most fundamental.
