Martin Heidegger’s ‘The Question Concerning Technology’


Topic/Lesson

1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)


i. Enframing
ii. Destining

2. Insights (What new insights or learnings did you gain in discussion/ activity?)

i. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought


That technology is accumulation of different innovations throughout
generations making lives easier.
However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
Technology has two definitions that is widely accepted by many, but
Heidegger explained that both does not even come close to the true
essence of technology.

ii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought


Technology are mostly instrumental, and its purpose is to lessen workload
and further shortening previously used processes.
iii. However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
Technology can be a way to reveal knowledges that still undiscovered or
found out of its shell. As stated by Heidegger, the essence of technology can
be understood as a way to reveal by both bringing-forth and challenging-
forth.

iv. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought


Technology’s purpose is to make our lives easier and become efficient to
lessen works done. We innovate things to discover things that is impossible for
earlier generations
v. However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
That dangers in using technology can also arise based on how the tech
used as an instrument. Being swallowed or consumed by technology put us in
danger of being a part of the standing reserve for the future
3. Questions (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you
want more explanations about?
i. How does bringing-forth and challenging-forth differ from each other and
how it is used as a way of revealing?
ii. Why is enframing the essence of technology and how destining explain
humans use on enframing to reveal what is real?
