- Mechanization – “Nicolas Oresme marks at a decisive point the schism between the ancient and modern world. ” Is the Author taking poetic license with this quote, or in his opinion is Oresme’s work really that ground breaking? I do not necessarily disagree with his point, but it certainly stood out as a bold claim.
- Modern Tech – “Technology is therefore no mere means. Technology is a way of revealing. If we give heed to this, then another whole realm for the essence of technology will open itself up to us. It is the realm of revealing, i.e., of truth”(pg 12) When the author talks about “revealing and truth” is he really talking about the solutions that technology provides to obstacles?
- “Does this revealing happen somewhere beyond all human doing? No. But neither does happen exclusively in man, or decisively through man.” is Heidegger saying that technology at some level exists and functions without human interaction? and if not, what does he mean by this statement?
