Hey, all! Just wanted to say thanks again for watching and stopping by! As always, this channel is so small, any like subscribe, share or comment helps put the algorithm in our favor! Heidegger's essay on the Question Concerning Technology is one of my favorite pieces, and was an absolute pleasure making (albeit a difficult one at that.) Feel free to follow and check out the stream on Twitch, and follow me on Twitter and Instagram for more content!
Heidegger like some philosophers is necessarily "difficult"....he spends a lot of Being and Time defining and even inventing terms...he is struggling to talk about something in a new way, and he digs into Aristotle, Plato, even Descartes...He would have been aware of Kant et al and of course Nietzsche. Nietzsche can be "difficult" also, but he uses "connected aphorisms" say in Beyond Good and Evil...really he means 'apart from the standard naive qualifications of these things, N is not advocating Nihilism". N is less of an 'ontologist' or metaphysician that Husserl or Heidegger...Russell fails to see a possible connection via N to Schopehauer and even Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein for me though, is about what cant be said, he questions and questions...in a sense as Socrates supposedly did (via Plato).....I think Heidegger, like Marx, sees the effect of modern 'alienation' and so on...But one cant avoid reading these guys....I am trying to find my way via Nietzsche (even read works by Rousseau, esp. his essays and also his superb 'Confessions'). All possibly to look at Derrida but it is true these philosophers are not easy.
He was far, FAR, ahead of his time. Most people I know today would not even have the atrention span to make it through this video, much less the actual books. The world needs Heidegger more than ever, thats for sure. Great analysis friend.
Actually the muslims were farther. Much, much, farther. They were the actual first critics and skeptics of modern technology as they understood its rational conclusions and endless danger from the invention of the printing press alone. It's quite paradigm-shifting. I invite you and the world to look into Islam. The keys to true skepticism and foreseeing the invisible evils of the world are in it.
@@thetruth4654 You may think that, if your intention is seeking ancient wisdom. However, if you could upgrade it to seeking Timeless Wisdom then you may start thinking otherwise, and you may also understand the power of the context from which my mentioning of Islam raised which is about Muslims being ahead of everyone when it comes to sharp technology skepticism, which is also definitely not a so ancient thing by any measure as far as i'm concerned. So this needs a paradigm-shift as I noted in my first comment which is certainly tough, but assuming from your username your will to Truth should be tougher insha'Allah (God Willing).
Being a small creator trying to educate the masses is a tough job. Moreover, describing intricate material in a palatable way is no easy feat. Thank you for taking the time to really break down Heidegger's essay and diving deep into the intricacies of his work! I'm excited to see your future content!
I had to read Being in Time when I took Epistemology at the University. I did, but I couldn’t dedicate the time I wanted on it, because we had other classes and so many other papers to do. I appreciate this very clear video on his ideas about technology. It seems to me we will become more and more disconnected from ourselves because of it.
Thank you for these wonderful, and timely (pun intended!) videos on Heidegger, I particularly appreciate you going from synthesising Heidegger to implications and back. Quite the task.
Been searching through lots of online video resources on Heidegger. I really rate this one very, very highly. I've subscribed and will be dipping in regularly. Thank you Epoch!
Here because I am going to present Heidegger's philosophical analysis about technology, in front of my classmates and professor. Hope it goes well, wish me luck.
This is the simplest explanation of The Question Concerning Technology ever! At first, I was really just trying to learn the whole thing for the sake of a test, but now that I understood it through this amazing video of yours, I began to see it's relevance to not just my course, but to the world as well. A huge thanks to you, Sir!
It was supposed to be written before being and time, and I just leave the question of meaning of being on to reverse it to the other as a horizon for pathological psychology. He is being literal, hammers, pens, paper.
Thanks, I really had hard time understanding his philosophy no matter how much I read😭 but you amazingly made it easier to understand and provided a good insight, too❤️
This is one of the most beautiful, and most important, essays I have ever read. It takes a lot of work, but boy is it worth it. Thank you for putting this together. You did a very fine job. I found it helpful.
Thank you so much for this video! I have to write a paper relating Heidegger's claim that the essence of technology is nothing technological to the film Castle in the Sky and this really helped me break down 'The Question Concerning Technology.' Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for making this. I am in the process of published a Bioethics piece where I utilize this part of Heidegger's philosophy and extend it to biotechnology. One of the reviewers had a big problem with it, and i started to doubt whether I was using Heidegger correctly. Your video helped to solidify my reasoning for using it.
thanks for this. it comforts me to know others made a stand for the importance of man's relation to nature in the past but I become anxious knowing we have yet to change as we blast into the future
finally, I found someone who was able to explain Heidegger's philosophy towards technology in terms that was easy to understand! thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! I am subscribing :)))
One way of considering technology is through the myth of Pandora's Box. Once technology is released, it can never be re-boxed. Or perhaps through the myth of the Garden of Eden and the loss of unity brought upon by knowledge, and the casting out from the garden, which is then guarded by a flaming sword. We can see that these things were understood in their essence (metaphysically) and represented symbolically throughout the ages. We have lost the ability to think symbolically, because of technology - which has removed and outsourced our inner potential to the service of production.
@@SP-ny1fk Forgive me, are you saying that ... modern technology has oriented the common mind to function so directly and literally perhaps, that the mental faculties required for apprehending allegorical wisdom, have been forsaken to incapacity?
A key highlight of the video is your application of Heidegger's ideas in the essay toward its real-world implications, so thank you. However, although Heidegger himself spends a brief time exploring it in the final sections of the essay, it would have been interesting to see you cover his re-institution of art into his inquiry into technology (i.e. this framework he posits of the 'technē'). Although he doesn't directly proclaim art as a kind of salvation towards 'revealing,' the most potent aspect of the claim is that by considering art within the relational properties you mention in the video, it creates not just a new lease on considering the essence of technology, but also a newfound lease on questioning the 'mystery' (as he calls it) of art itself, and thus of ourselves (Being).
I just watched this vid with the reason of this subject being part of a lesson from my final exam, wondering what is the part 3 of video relating to Martin Heidegger. I do need to allot time to understand this though so will rewatch and research more about him. Curiousity is something else
Heidegger on Technology was wonderfully put together. If i can make a request, please make video on "Last god and new beginning or Anfag" of Heidegger as that points to what awaits us in the future.
'die Befindlichkeit' is so much more. Some things you have to feel from the language experience up close. Its the same for 'das Dasein'. German words carry more 'aura' with them than my own Dutch or English in my opinion.
This man ... The link between the development of atomic weapons and doing the same to people (manipulating organic beings) is so clear in his mind. You can sense it in the way he says it. Luckily I understand and speak German myself which gives an extra understanding of the way he speaks the words. Great to see this clip.
Excellent explanation of Heideggerian thought. It seems as though the corporatism phenomenon has kicked into overdrive recently and I'm really get the sense of a being treated like a non-being. This video is a good source to refer back to, thank you.
Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology" was jarringly insightful, given what see happening in our world of "modern technology" today. We have clearly reached, or are rapidly approaching, the negative extreme of his thesis. The modern technologies we celebrate today - including, or even especially, management technologies - exist almost exclusively for his "enframing" idea, and subsequently for the domination of nature and humanity. And the "freedom" (in Heidegger's sense of the word)of things, beasts, and humans consequently has been eviscerated. It's a pity that few people, especially those in power and authority, pay much attention to philosophers, especially great and insightful ones.
Thank you so much! I was as well. This was actually the video I was most excited for regarding Heidegger and wanted to release this first. But, covering Being and Time first made more sense.
@@epochphilosophy Yeah I'm currently reading Being and Time when I can after work and it's pretty good so far. Despite the concepts being difficult to conceptually understand on first glance I feel as if he made it the simplest he possibly could. I'm understanding more than I thought though, or atleast I think I am ahaha. I'll never know if I'm internalizing it correctly until I refer to some other secondary sources on it all.
im literally teaching myself this year, just needed a book, couple free videos and a few tests, dont even know why im paying so much some useless teachers
THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS VIDEO. Our teacher Gave us a Summative Assessment that require us to make video of our self summarizing the article concerning technology and what lifestyle changes I can adopt about this article.
Thanks! That was a nice introduction and that was quite accessible. I think the concept of Enframing was lacking in this video. Enframing probably would have made the video more difficult to understand though. I'm no expert but my understanding is Standing Reserve means more than resource because Heidegger's critique of modern technology is our understanding of the world is enframed and controlled by models such as mathematical/scientific models. So one of the dangers is the world becomes just measurable quantities or variables in a model or equation and data science/AI is probably going to make it even more dangerous. Subscribed!
Martin Heidegger's thoughts on challenging the concept that the essence of technology is through its use is a pertinent contribution to the philosophy of AI.
absolutely stellar video, this really opened my eyes and contextualized my angst towards my internet addiction. and in the greater scheme the parts about arbitrarily corp. turning people into productive commodities. its all really striking. it reminds me of the message of the movie princess mononoke. if you haven't seen it, you should.
The clip of Heidegger speaking is most interesting. Thanks for that and for this very thought-provoking synopsis-interpretation. I struggled, half a century ago, with Heidegger's meaning; What is meant by this "clearing"? This video gives me some serious clues, along w/ motivation to reread the text! I especially wanted to revisit this particular You Tube film, in light of Tucker Carlson's recent interview w/ Elon Musk. Musk shares Heidegger's worry that AI, e.g., could get "out of control." Heidegger's worry here was about the "bio" aspect. Perhaps it amounts essentially to Musk's worry. It is interesting that Heidegger worries less about The Bomb, than about Technology generally as our modern-Western "mindset," as it were (at least in this interpretation). Musk, too, sees that AI, e.g., is not merely "neutral," not merely "a means," but rather something that, again, could get catastrophically "out of control." Musk used the expression, "ending civilization." And so he now intends to make yet another company, a company focusing on Artificial Intelligence. One of Musk's former friends believes in a "Digital God." And this friend labels Elon, a "species-ist," meaning someone who actually values human life! So, we see, the great Heidegger is more relevant than ever before.
Hi! I just wanted to say a very late thank you for this - incredibly interesting and important. I have so many thoughts! I agree with Heidegger on a lot; however, I can't help but think it is somewhat contradictory to assume humans have the capability to revert back to pre-industrial thinking on nature. Am I being completely pessimistic in this? I love his outlook, but surely it takes more than a minority of individuals with such philosophical understanding to align this with how we use technology and interact with nature. We were always blind to our true 'purpose' in one way or another as most human effort is inevitably misguided (I see religion as incredibly strong evidence for this), but now we just have an even worse disconnect from unity with nature, and the development of technology seems to irreversibly blind us to this. Even in the absence of religion, we are just as misguided and perhaps even more at odds with each other and the world. In many ways, religion kept us connected to the natural world in a way we may never appreciate again.
Fire, axes used for chopping wood, these are technological in the same fundamental sense that a modern computer is. Yet Heidegger doesn't warn us of the danger of using fire to keep warm. In the same vein, this video makes a distinction between the pre-industrial view of nature as one of a habitat to cooperate with, and the post-industrial view of nature as something to control and exploit. I don't see how this can be substantiated. It's a difference of degree, not of kind. Technology is just more rampant now, but it's not like technology wasn't a huge part of the lives of people in the pre-industrial revolution.

What was once unseen can be seen. The essence of technology.
The danger is not the technology but what can be seen with it. And our inability to cope.
As computers get more powerful, we stay the same. We can not as yet upgrade a human being.
Don't think of it as deep the further out you go.
I see Kant in this, a lot.
That deep Kant's philosophy is.
