Questioning the Essence of Technology: Heidegger and the History of Truth / Heidegger and the History of Truth

vii, 73 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / This project explores Martin Heidegger's extensive engagement with technology
and stands as a defense of his approach. In doing this I will explicate how technology
should not be viewed simply as a means for human use but must be recognized as a way in
which the truth reveals itself. This requires an inquiry into how modem technology
approaches the world in a way that differs from approaches of the past. By showing what
this difference is and how it is making its appearance, it becomes possible to see that
technology places humanity into a new and dangerous relationship with itself. I would like
to show that this danger can only be properly attended to and averted through a tum to
historical reflection. / Committee in Charge:
John T. Lysaker, Chair; Peter A. Warnek
