Abstract

This article presents some aspects of Heidegger’s inquire on the technique, introducing and approaching, therefore, two texts from the author: “The Age of the World Picture” and “The Question Concerning Technology”. The purpose is to confront the philosopher’s definition of the modern technique with the metaphysics of the “world picture” that he attributed to modernity. In this endeavor, also the innovative character of Heidegger’s approach to this matter is highlighted and it is shown how this approach is distant from the debates of his time which were limited to questioning the neutrality and the cultural aspects of technique
