Question concerning technology














"Martin Heidegger's essay "The Question Concerning Technology" is hard to read. There's no point in pretending that it isn't. The essay is difficult for a number of reasons. Although Heidegger does not assume that his audience has a strong background in philosophy, he tends to explain philosophical concepts in a quick and condensed manner. "The Question Concerning Technology" is not a long text, but it probably isn't one that you can read in two or three hours before class. Give yourself enough time so that you can break up your reading into smaller sections. Heidegger's argument builds upon itself quite logically, and it's possible to stop and start again without getting terribly lost so long as you keep track of what he has been saying."
