Keywords:
Tékhne, enframing, poiésis, aisthesis, salvationAbstract
For Heidegger, the essence of modern technology is a mode of revealing the Being; namely, a way to emerge from concealment that has the character of summoning Nature in the sense of “provocation”. The greatest danger this technological mode of revelation represents for man is that any other mode of revelation might be expelled and man could lose the relationship with his de-concealing essence of worlds. However, as Hölderlin poetically says: but where the danger is, grows the saving power. For Heidegger, this means the saving power also grows within the bosom of technology. Unraveling this paradox necessitates a decisive showdown with technology in the field of art. In this paper, the authors develop an interpretation of this enigmatic Heideggerian proposal.Downloads
