What technology to Heidegger was, is different from what it has become today. What fascinates me is how his philosophies presented with reference to the initial phases of technology hold true in reference to the modernized world. The poetic relationship with the world is an appealing alternative. A large faction of human beings are in turn treating nature as just something to exploit, to get resources from. This serves our present demands well but is surely going to prove destructive in the long run.

Reply to The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy
