Ereignis

Xenikos
Philosophy of and as Nihilism

Richard Polt

“Thinking” would no longer consist of trying to establish absolute presence, but would be a tentative, respectful tracing of historical meanings and an ongoing inquiry into what they show us.

Being and Existence (1966)

Theodor Adorno

The motivations and results of Heidegger’s thought movements can be construed even where they are not uttered; there is hardly a sentence of his without its positional value in the functional context of the whole.

From the Question Concerning Technology to the Quest for a Democratic Technology
Heidegger, Marcuse, Feenberg [PDF]

Iain Thomson

Heidegger’s understanding of technology thus overturns both traditional Marxist determinism, and liberal instrumentalism.

Heidegger and Professor Capobianco
Phenomenology vs. Crypto-metaphysics

Thomas Sheehan

Heidegger made the important distinction between (1) existentiel-personal acts of minding the meant and (2) the existential-structural essence that makes such acts possible, which he called Existenz.

Heidegger’s Questioning After Technology [PDF]

Babette Babich

We are still not thinking. We are still not questioning.

Shattering Presence
Being as Change, Time as the Sudden Instant in Heidegger’s 1930–31 Seminar on Plato’s Parmenides

Francisco J. Gonzalez

[I]n the case of Plato, Heidegger blamed his conflicted reading not only on the ambivalence of the great philosopher, but also on his own incomprehension.

Im-position
Heidegger’s Analysis of the Essence of Modern Technology

Daniel O. Dahlstrom

The key to us having a free relationship to modern technology rests, Heidegger proposes, on our experiencing it as a legacy and our role within it. Experiencing it in these ways keeps us in the free space of it, which by no means locks us “into a numb coercion” of “blindly” pursuing technology or “helplessly” raging against it and condemning it as the work of the devil.

A Field Guide to Heidegger
Understanding ‘The Question Concerning Technology’

David I. Waddington

We can realize that we, the Shepherds of Being, have a choice: we can bring-forth rather than challenge-forth.

Shannon entropy and das Ge-Stell

Doug C. Wise

The essence of Ge-Stell, Heidegger says, is “the danger.” Danger of what? Evidently loss of diversity.

Heidegger’s Doctrine of Meaning
His Bedeutungslehre

Thomas Sheehan

We are a kinetic field of intelligibility, and whatever falls within that dynamic field has its “direction” (its significance) determined by the movement of ex-sistence itself.

The Ontological Need (1966)

Theodor Adorno

Heidegger’s philosophy is like a highly developed credit system: one concept borrows from the other.

Pathos and Logos
Martin Heidegger on the Primacy of Affection in Aristotle’s Ontology of Human Being

Walter Brogan

Practical wisdom is the capacity to hear the call of our end as the source of human action and the capacity to call ourselves back resolutely to stand by this guiding force.

Variagenic collapse—notes on Rethinking Death in and after Heidegger

Doug C. Wise

Heidegger was persuaded that the Shannon entropy of Welt is decreasing, that Ge-Stell by way of constraints and orderings and regimes is producing a Borg planet.

Being before Time?
Heidegger on Original Time, Ontological Independence, and Beingless Entities

Tobias Keiling

Because Ereignis is a second-order phenomenon of the interaction between different forms of relationality, the different dimensions of time do not form an explanatory hierarchy.

Love: the Hidden Mood in Being and Time

Christos Hadjioannou

[L]ove is the hidden fundamental disposition in BT that operates as a motivator for angst, which is the formally indicated fundamental mood of authentic Dasein.

Riveted to a Monstrous Site
On Heidegger’s Beiträge zur Philosophie

Reiner Schürmann

This critical moment, when the phenomenological truth of the divine in its numerous past acceptations could become the “own” (eigen) of a historical human type, would be the event (Ereignis) to come.

Gatherings Volume 14, 2024
The Heidegger Circle Annual

With contributions from: Thomas Sheehan, Robert C. Scharff, Francesco Scagliusi, Walter Brogan, Sean D. Kirkland, J. Avery Dawson, Elena Bartolini, Ian Alexander Moore, Krzysztof Ziarek, David Farrell Krell, and Daniel M. Herskowitz.

Understanding Heidegger’s φύσις/nature distinction in light of fundamental and fallen attunements

Emily Hughes

Heidegger’s theory of affectedness, of being-disposed through attunements, is an hierarchical or stratified one.

Destruktion or Recovery?
Leo Strauss's Critique of Heidegger

Steven B. Smith

Strauss's emphasis on the irreducibly political character of natural right constitutes his greatest difference with Heidegger.

Another Chorology
Reading Heidegger’s Plato Books

Bret W. Davis

[I]nsofar as he sees his own thought as stepping back to the origins of metaphysics in order to think what comes both before the beginning and ater the closure of that history, Heidegger is never done with reading Plato, and we have only begun to understand and respond to his readings.

Remembrances of Martin Heidegger in Marburg

Elisabeth Hirsch

Heidegger presented the Critique not in abstract terms as a question of knowledge of objects but as a concrete problem of man's relation to the world.

Dwelling in the Abyss
Society in Werner Herzog and Martin Heidegger

Haotian Wu

Being unhomely eventually becomes homely again.

John Sallis

Wikipedia, papers on this website.

A Brutal Awakening to the Tragic Condition of Being
On Heidegger’s Beiträge zur Philosophie

Reiner Schürmann

Space and time do originate in the event, although no longer as if in some focus centering them in advance of experience and for its sake.

Da-Sein’s Pronouns

Babette Babich

What if Dasein were a woman?

Reification through Commodity Form or Technology?
From Honneth back to Heidegger and Marx

Christian Lotz

Heidegger’s critique should in fact lead Marxists to see the crucial role of the domination of nature in Marx’s theory.

Rethinking of Quantum Mechanics Based on Heidegger's Philosophy

Qihong Wu

This new relation found in quantum mechanics, the retrocausality, seems counterintuitive but can be interpreted and supported by Heidegger’s philosophy.

Constitutional entrumpy

Doug C. Wise

Such is the force of the “inner truth and greatness of this movement,” Trumpism, MAGA.

‘LET IT BE’
Heidegger and Eckhart on Gelassenheit

Dermot Moran

Heidegger’s releasement is a form of non-representational, non-willing, self-aware meditative thinking, that is neither active nor passive, but involves a kind of open calmness and expectation

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Martin Heidegger

Mark Wrathall

Heidegger’s Philosophy of Language in an Aristotelian Context
Dynamis meta logou

Günter Figal

Dasein has to be understood as that which is already from the outset accessible, without which nothing belonging to it can be exhibited, brought to language and thus to explicit attention.

Brentano as a Source of Seinsgeschichte?
(You Will Rethink the Husserl Relation Too)

Hakhamanesh Zangeneh

How and why is Heidegger led to this idea that every consciousness is self-consciousness?

We Have Never Been Animals
Heidegger's Posthumanism [PDF]

Steven Crowell

Heidegger does not embrace bio-posthumanism but insists on the "metaphysical" importance of a distinction between world and ring.

Transcendental Anarchy and the Practical A Priori
On Reiner Schürmann’s Reading of Heidegger

Raoni Padui

If anarchy is uncovered as something deeper than the distinction between theory and practice, to what extent does it make sense still to speak of the priority of one over the other?

The irreconcilable self in Heidegger’s logic of authenticity and event

James Bahoh

The logic of evental propriety and alienation forms the pre-personal ground of Dasein’s intrinsically problematic authentic selfhood.

A Forgotten Episode of the Early Phenomenological Tradition—Reconstruction and Interpretation

Daniele De Santis

[I]t can be surmised that it is Beck who—for better or worse—publicly established the thesis to the effect that Being and Time is the “accomplished synthesis of Dilthey and Husserl”.

Heidegger’s Authenticity and Günther Anders’ Neg-Anthropology

Babette Babich

What is human? The question, to go back to Heidegger, as Anders reminds us, is a “what”-question opposed for Heidegger to the that-question and, indeed, to the who-question.

Ontological luck

Doug C. Wise

[I]s the right headspace—a genuine openness to the ontological—is this a region of experience anyone can enter or only some?

Werner Marx and Martin Heidegger
What “Measure” for a Post-metaphysical Ethics?

Norman K. Swazo

Marx is concerned to identify a non-metaphysical ethos that allows for the virtues of justice, compassion, and neighborly love (including friendship, fraternity, and solidarity) as a corrective to indifference, and do so with reference to awareness of a common human mortality.

Two Conversations with Heidegger

Eugen Fink

Edited and translated by Giovanni Jan Giubilato and Ian Alexander Moore

The “difference” is not about keeping the truth of being away from metaphysical truth; rather, metaphysical truth must be thought anew from the truth of being.

Heidegger's Ontological Analysis of Language

Daniel O. Dahlstrom

'sense' does not apply to entities or even being; it is rather what the understanding projects the entities or being upon, such that their intelligibility is sustained.

Love and Mystery
Heidegger's Critique of Metaphysics as a Challenge to Whitehead

Jay McDaniel

While Heidegger emphasizes the openness and mystery of being, Whitehead foregrounds the presence of ideals and values that beckon humanity and shape the cosmos.

Heidegger’s “Mystical” Vision of Being

Richard Capobianco

[I]f we think through and past his occasional protestations about these terms, we realize that his later thinking of Being did indeed proceed through what he had identified early on as “intuition and feeling.”

Heidegger’s Critical Confrontation with the Concept of Truth as Validity

Joshua Fahmy-Hooke

[T]he logic of validity fails to show what the essence of truth is and why being, in relation to truth, must be maintained as that which is merely present.

Thaumanoia 2

Doug C. Wise

[I]t strikes me as performative contradiction to assert the fact of impossibles and also to seek a ground of the impossible, to adduce conditions for the possibility of impossibility.

On Heidegger’s Interpretation of the Will to Power as Art [PDF]

Jacques Taminiaux

In Heidegger’s interpretation, the Platonism Nietzsche attacks is simply the historical process of decline or of moving away from Plato’s genuine thought.

Thinking Against Humanism?
Heidegger on the Human Essence, the Inhuman, and Evil

Jack Wearing

Humanistic understandings of the human being never so much as raise the question of Being, and so fail to locate the human being in relation to it. In this sense, they are one and all ‘metaphysical’.

‘Befindlichkeit’ and ‘Pathe of Authenticity’ in Heidegger’s 1924 Course on Aristotle

Annalisa Caputo

When we say being emotionally situated in the world, we are saying that we are in the world as bodies, bodily being-in-the world. Heidegger's Dasein is not at all disembodied.

Poiētic Truth (Alētheia) in Archaic Greece
Comparative Anthropology / Heideggerian Intimations

James M. Magrini

The concern for the question of Being, ... is the search for the enabling power that makes possible, and so is responsible for, “the correlation between an entity’s givenness and the dative of that givenness.”

Transcendental Idealism and Strong Correlationism
Meillassoux and the End of Heideggerian Finitude

Jussi Backman

[T]here is at least one important sense in which Heidegger does remain an heir to transcendental idealism until the end: Ereignis remains a name for the correlation between being and thinking.

Heidegger on Presence

Richard Polt

Since the clearing is characterized by or originates in Ereignis, another new name for Being and Time might be “presence and appropriation”.

The End of Instrumentality?
Heidegger on Phronēsis and Calculative Thinking

Ian Alexander Moore

Particular actions may come to an end, but the need for action as such will not.

Cybernetics for the 21st Century
Vol.1 Epistemological Reconstruction

Yuk Hui

The task that is left to all of us is to rediscover these cosmotechnics in order to reframe modern technologies, namely, by reframing the enframing (Gestell).

Thinking the Abyss of History
Heidegger’s Critique of Hegelian Metaphysics

Ryan Johnson

What is important for Heidegger is that the self-concealment of the clearing, its nothingness, can never be “sublimated” (aufgehoben) or negated.

Thaumanoia

Doug C. Wise

Approximately, the ontopathology of everyday life is to Heidegger what the psychopathology of the same is to Freud: the phenomena of a primordial disclosive process: UnbewussteSeyn.

The Sacred in Thinging
Heidegger’s “Design” in the Light of Kantian Aesthetics and the Telos of Nature

Xiaochen Zhao

the entire worldliness, including the verdicts of heaven and the underworld, as well as nirvana, preserved in the storytelling of our ancestors, cycles once again as thinghood intersects with Dasein and enters the Open through the latter’s decision to make art

Heidegger’s Post-Western Politics

Alexander S. Duff

Philosophy alleviates nothing, eases nothing; it does not point beyond, to a value or standard beyond the people from whom it emerges. Instead it burdens.

Heidegger’s “Pre-Aristotelians”
Nietzsche and Heidegger on Anaximander

Babette Babich

Existence so understood as expressly, as specifically delimited existence, under one form or set of limits or borders or bounds as opposed to another, is the existence that is always, as Heidegger reminds us, in each case mine, whether taken up as a project or not.

Presence and the Greeks

Richard Polt

Heidegger investigates the source of the understanding of being as presencing, the donation of presencing as the sense of beingness. This source can be called Seyn or Ereignis, and he clearly distinguishes it from presencing.

An Ontological Reading of Sufism
Examining Sufism Through the Philosophy of Heidegger

Milad Milani

Muslims as Sufis can release themselves “into the nothing” by entering the clearing that is Sufism as mysticism—the ground of the mystical in Islam.

The Sacred in Thinging
Heidegger’s “Design” in the Light of Kantian Aesthetics and the Telos of Nature

Xiaochen Zhao

[T]he entire worldliness, including the verdicts of heaven and the underworld, as well as nirvana, preserved in the storytelling of our ancestors, cycles once again as thinghood intersects with Dasein and enters the Open through the latter’s decision to make art.

Heidegger on ‘Possibility’ [PDF]

Mark Sinclair

Dasein is the movedness of time

Heidegger’s Topology from The Beginning
Dasein, Being, Place [PDF]

Jeff Malpas

As a philosophical project, topology arises out of the simple recognition of the way all thinking begins with place, with our own being-placed, and with the questionability that belongs to them.

Heidegger and Foucault on modern technology
does Gestell ‘correspond perfectly’ to dispositif?

Kaspar Villadsen

[W]hereas Heidegger’s Gestell defines the ubiquitous modern mode of disclosure through which natural resources and human capacities appear, Foucault lays out a multiplicity of dis-positifs, each creating distinct visibilities.

Murdoch on Heidegger

Matt Dougherty

[W]hat Murdoch came to see in Heidegger was a continuous attempt to offer a more-or-less-systematic and all-encompassing picture of what she calls ‘the unconditioned’ and its essential relation to human being. That is the central task of what she calls ‘metaphysics’.

Being Without (Heidegger)

Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback

Being within the without is understood as a learning not of another way to be and to think, but rather of an unlearning. We could recall here a verse by the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, who speaks about the need to aprender a desaprender, “to learn to unlearn.”

How Can We Live In The Common World [PDF]

Min Seol

Dasein is not a self-sufficient substance but open to the world. I can exist only as long as I am open to the world.

Heidegger on Unconcealment and Correctness [PDF]

Taylor Carman

[T]he being-­uncovering of a belief is bound up with its being true as opposed to false, since we can regard beliefs as true only because we can have them.

Sense and Meaning
From Aristotle to Heidegger

Thomas Sheehan

[S]ense/meaning are the subject matter—the Befragtes—of all Heidegger’s work.

Heidegger, Hölderlin, and Eccentric Translation

Julia Ireland

[T]he specifically initiatory dimension of the foreignness of the foreign language moves us from the pole of interlingual translation to the pole of innerlingual translation, “translating” us, so to speak, into the very movement of translation as this is realized in the root unfolding of language.

Rethinking Dwelling
Heidegger and the Question of Place [PDF]

Jeff Malpas

[O]ne of Heidegger's most important insights is the recognition that the world opens up only in and through the bounded singularity of place.

Free to Read Otherwise
Heidegger Deciphering Hölderlin

Rodrigo Therezo

[I]f the playful nonessence always already belongs to the essence, then this essence is not so essential as we once thought, and that it is really not our place to decide between terms that we cannot neatly keep apart.

Heidegger on Hölderlin’s Hymn Der Ister
The Dwelling of the Poet and the Place-Making of the River

Axel Onur Karamercan

If the possibility of dwelling as “becoming-at-home” depends on the possibility of a “homecoming” and on the appropriation of the origin from the end, this means that dwelling signifies the hermeneutic capacity to re-interpret the home.

Death and Authenticity
Reflections on Heidegger, Rilke, Blanchot [PDF]

Jennifer Anna Gosetti-Ferencei

[D]eath is nothing to be actualized, not even in the imagination, because it is, precisely, and gives, precisely, nothing.

The politics of silence
Heidegger’s black notebooks [PDF]

Adam Knowles

What is so fascinating about the Black Notebooks is that, in so many ways, they beg not to be read. They seem written so as to be written off.

Uniqueness and the Event
rethinking the horizonal in Martin Heidegger's Contributions to philosophy (of the event)[PDF]

Matthew Hanasyk

[T]he ground itself withdraws into concealment and so can never be secured beyond the temporal revelation of its withdrawal. In fact, the revealing of this withdrawal into concealment is precisely the truth of beyng itself.

“The Problem of Science” in Nietzsche and Heidegger

Gatherings: The Heidegger Circle Annual 2025

Building Dwelling Thinking

Martin Heidegger

Translation and Commentary by Adam Bobeck

Spirit-power talking

Doug C. Wise

Heidegger treats the poetry as reporting the Befindlichkeit of stone.

Plato and Heidegger on Sophistry and Philosophy

Jens Kristian Larsen

That Aristotle’s understanding of the good is ontological is thus not the result of his disregarding ‘values’, but simply of his radical attempt to understand the good for each thing primarily on the basis of the way each thing can be said to be.

New book online

Martin Heidegger as Interrogator
The Final Paradigm

Daniel Fidel Ferrer

Heidegger did send us a “message;” namely, to ponder philosophical questions. Just like he said of Aristotle, all of the questions are still “open”.

Logos, Muthos, Theos
Heidegger’s Phenomenology and the Sacralization of Being

Larry Hatab

[A] mythical world of meaningful life is a mode of dwelling immune to critique by a standard of scientific objectivity.

Amid Germania’s Holidays
From Dasein’s Sieg to Hitler’s Sieg Heil

Rodrigo Therezo

Derrida is then right to emphasize a radical alterity of every Dasein, not just in the sense of being as other but in the more ontic sense of other beings who are nevertheless constitutive of Dasein’s ownmost Seinkönnen.

Eric Voegelin and Martin Heidegger on the Anaximander Fragment

Thomas W. Holman

For both, Anaximander articulates the justice of order according to the interplay of things and the apeiron, where apeiron is conceived as both the limitless and the ordering principle (or arche) of the interplay.

Should We Fear Large Language Models?
A Structural Analysis of the Human Reasoning System for Elucidating LLM Capabilities and Risks Through the Lens of Heidegger's Philosophy [PDF]

Jianqiu Zhang

LLMs, like Heidegger's concept of "Das Man" or the "they," which are reliant on verbal relational links, are categorically inauthentic.

Disentangling Heidegger's Transcendental Questions

Chad Engelland

The reconstruction of the preparatory question (SZ I.1-2) and its reversal (SZ I.3) reveals that Heidegger’s later criticism of the (preparatory) transcendental question in fact relies on the success of the question. Transcendental terms become translated into the terms of Ereignis and its “reciprocity” (Gegenschwung).

Heidegger and the ‘There Is’ of Being [PDF]

Kris McDaniel

Some expressions ‘cut closer to the metaphysical joints’ than others. Among the expressions that cut closest are what I called ‘semantically primitive quantifier expressions’ that correspond to (possible) senses of ‘being’ that in turn correspond to Heidegger’s fundamental modes of being.

A Proposal for Translating Heidegger’s Interpretation of Kant

Morganna Lambeth

[W]hen he interprets other thinkers, he adopts a terminology that is foreign to his ordinary way of writing. ... When translated, these interpretations should read differently than when Heidegger builds his own terminology in order to express his own philosophical positions.

Martin Heidegger’s Concept of Understanding (Verstehen)
An Inquiry into Artificial Intelligence [PDF]

Joshua D. F. Hooke

Those seeking to use Heidegger to illustrate the limitations of AI should recognize that both divisions of Being and Time are crucial to their argument.

Heidegger's Being and Time Paraphrased and Annotated

Foreword and Afterword

Thomas Sheehan

In approaching SZ it is important to get off on the right foot, and that entails understanding the presuppositions underlying his work.

Two hermeneutical motives in Reading the Constitution

Doug C. Wise

[W]hat divides textualists from purposivists may be more in the nature of a Holmesian can't-help, a difference in ‘the world as I found it,' thematic commitment, Grundbefinden.

Revisiting Presence

Richard Polt

Even if he accepts presence as our destined and inescapable meaning of being, presence is enabled by a mysterious—let us say—“event” that lets things come to the fore while it itself keeps quiet.

Nothingness and Paraconsistent Logic [PDF]

Hinna Khaan

This deficiency in logic leads Heidegger to the idea that the true logic is ontological and what is usually known as logic is nothing but a contingent expression of it.

‘What Is, Is More than It Is’
Adorno and Heidegger on the Priority of Possibility

Iain Macdonald

[I]f there is any truth to the priority Heidegger gives to possibility, then it should also be expressible outside that philosophy, in another context

Thinking the Event in Heidegger's "Black Notebooks" [PDF]

Sebastiano Galanti Grollo

Thinking should take place in a state of waiting in order to receive what is essential, which does not come about on the basis of the human will. For this purpose, it is necessary for thought to derive from the event itself – Vom Ereignis – as a response to the call of being.

Sprache als Be-wëgen
The Unfolding of Language and Being in Heidegger's Later Work, 1949-1976

Doug Peduti

Language disposes as Ereignis in conversation. While man’s being is grounded in language, grounding occurs only in conversation.

Paganism as a Political Problem
Levinas’s Understanding of Judaism in the 1930s

Michael Fagenblat

Behind Levinas’s idea of religious exigency of “excendence” lies Heidegger’s notion of the spiritual quality of ontological transcendence

Heidegger's Transcendentalism [PDF]

Daniel O. Dahlstrom

But Heidegger also seems to betray unmistakable vestiges of modern transcendentalism as well, especially when one considers the characteristic turn of modern transcendentalism from experience to the conditions of the possibility of experience.

Rules for the Human Park
A Response to Heidegger’s “Letter on ‘Humanism’”

Peter Sloterdijk

Translated by Ian Alexander Moore and Christopher Turner

[B]y exposing and asking out beyond the conditions of European humanism [...], Heidegger entered a trans-humanist or post-humanist realm of thought in which an essential part of philosophical reflection on the human being has moved ever since.

Heidegger's Antigones

Clare Pearson Geiman

τέχνη, here conceived as a secondary form of knowledge whose scope is limited to nonhuman ways of being, becomes the dominant model for conceiving human Being and human knowing.

Heidegger’s Reticence
From Contributions to Das Ereignis and toward Gelassenheit

Daniela Vallega-Neu

The inceptive appropriating event clears an openness, with which Heidegger rethinks the “there” of being-there, the open site (or time-space) for the truth of beyng.

Brokenness of Being and Errancy of Ontological Untruth
Susan Taubes’s Criticism of Heidegger’s Seinsdenken

Elliot R. Wolfson

The unspoken is not simply what is not vocalized ..., but it is rather what is unremittingly withheld as the unsaid, the mystery of all mysteries of the thoughtful saying ..., the concealment that persists as concealed in the disclosure of the concealment disclosed in the concealment of disclosure ....

The Three “Fundamental Deceptions” of Being and Time
Heidegger’s Phenomenology Revisited

David Charles Abergel

[P]henomenology for the young Heidegger was never a descriptive enterprise oriented toward givenness, but always, however obliquely presented throughout the 1920s, a way of participating in the creative unfolding of the site of Being’s happening.

On Beginning Über den Anfang

Richard Polt

The inceptive event is a grounding of a question (Who are we? What does being mean?), a grounding of a problem, a grounding of a displacement.

Heidegger and German Idealism

Peter Trawny

[German Idealism] does not come to a “question of being.” ... In the thinking of Heidegger the “finitude” of the human being is what “comes to view.”

The importance of the nothingness of what we care about

Doug C. Wise

Nothing other than itself, and itself an abyss; in Heidegger's alternative usage, Nichtigkeit.

Heidegger on Unconcealment and Correctness [PDF]

Taylor Carman

Beliefs and assertions uncover entities, that is, only because human beings disclose worlds.

Black as the New Dissonance
Heidegger, Adorno, and Truth in the Work of Art

Jensen Suther

Preservation in the sense of the disclosure of truth becomes questionable in the age of modern technology because enframing has greatly diminished our capacity for understanding ourselves as historical beings formed by institutions we sustain and transform through our practices.

Material calculation and its unconscious
approaching computerization with Heidegger and Lacan

Marc Heimann & Anne-Friederike Hübener

Heidegger assumes that the modern mode of being is structured by computability (Berechenbarkeit), which means a universal quantification of things into energy to create more energy.
