    the truth.
    Ancient Greek concepts:
    • Poiesis – bringing forth
    • Aletheia – truth, disclosure, unconcealedness
    • Techne – skill, art, or craft

    Technology is a poiesis that discloses


    or reveals the truth.

    applicable to modern
    technology?
    Modern Technology
    Challenges forth
    Very aggressive in its activity
    Sets or brings about a setting upon
    Expedites unconcealment of nature
    Stores that which is extracted from
    nature
    Modern technology views Earth as a
    huge gas station, a representative of the
    extraction,
    drilling and rape
    of Mother nature.
    Modern Technology
    Age of switches
    Standing reserve
    Stockpiling for its own sake
    Questioning is a piety of
    thought.
    A process of knowing
    the truth of who we are
    as beings in this world.

     Views nature as calculable and orderable
    system of information (calculative
    thinking)
     Earth as gas station
     Conceals poeisis
     Modern physics is the herald of enframing
    Meditative thinking – let nature reveal itself without
    The human person swallowed by
    technology
    Art as a way out of enframing
     Technology is poetic in the primordial
    experience
     Nature is art (techne) par excellence
     Nature is the most poetic

    • There is difference between technology and modern technology.


     Itis in questioning that
    we build a way to
    understand.
     Technology is usually thought of as
    that which solves problems but
    Heidegger asserts that it is
    something we must question.

     Calculativeand meditative
    thinking works together.
    Aristotle’s Conception of the
    Four Causes was mechanical.
    1. Causa materialis
    2. Causa formalis
    3. Causa finalis
    4. Causa efficiens
    Aition is an ancient Greek word which means
    ‘cause’ or ‘reason’, that to which something else
    is indebted’, not cause and effect

     Aition is responsible for bringing forth


    Though we have Technology Though
    consigned as enframing

    The wasteland grows. Woe to him who
    harbors the wasteland. Our earth is not an
    earth of calculation. If this remains such, only
    a God can save us.
