Hey, all! Just wanted to say thanks again for watching and stopping by! As always, this channel is so small, any like subscribe, share or comment helps put the algorithm in our favor! Heidegger's essay on the Question Concerning Technology is one of my favorite pieces, and was an absolute pleasure making (albeit a difficult one at that.) Feel free to follow and check out the stream on Twitch, and follow me on Twitter and Instagram for more content!
amazing video an
tysm! You helped me with my philo class
@epochphilosophy or also ‘Biophysik’ Biotech & future
He was far, FAR, ahead of his time. Most people I know today would not even have the atrention span to make it through this video, much less the actual books. The world needs Heidegger more than ever, thats for sure. Great analysis friend.
Far from it. He is a very mediocre blah word salad nazi atheist.
Actually the muslims were farther. Much, much, farther. They were the actual first critics and skeptics of modern technology as they understood its rational conclusions and endless danger from the invention of the printing press alone. It's quite paradigm-shifting. I invite you and the world to look into Islam. The keys to true skepticism and foreseeing the invisible evils of the world are in it.
@@thethethe814 lol i`ll pass, if i want to seek ancient wisdom, there are so many better places to go then Islam.
@@thetruth4654 You may think that, if your intention is seeking ancient wisdom.
However, if you could upgrade it to seeking Timeless Wisdom then you may start thinking otherwise, and you may also understand the power of the context from which my mentioning of Islam raised which is about Muslims being ahead of everyone when it comes to sharp technology skepticism, which is also definitely not a so ancient thing by any measure as far as i'm concerned. So this needs a paradigm-shift as I noted in my first comment which is certainly tough, but assuming from your username your will to Truth should be tougher insha'Allah (God Willing).
@@thethethe814But then the problem of islam and any other religion or philosophy is that they propose a mentality of conflict driven by morals, imperatives are aways dangerous, because proposing How the world should be and people should behave is dangerous and only replace an opression with another one.
The problem in this video isnt technology itself, but what it represents, and we have this "problem" because we demand that the world should be X, instead of recognizing that the world shoudnt be anything.
Love how accessible you're making Heidegger. I think his ideas were super important so you're doing a great service to humanity.
Heidegger like some philosophers is necessarily "difficult"....he spends a lot of Being and Time defining and even inventing terms...he is struggling to talk about something in a new way, and he digs into Aristotle, Plato, even Descartes...He would have been aware of Kant et al and of course Nietzsche. Nietzsche can be "difficult" also, but he uses "connected aphorisms" say in Beyond Good and Evil...really he means 'apart from the standard naive qualifications of these things, N is not advocating Nihilism". N is less of an 'ontologist' or metaphysician that Husserl or Heidegger...Russell fails to see a possible connection via N to Schopehauer and even Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein for me though, is about what cant be said, he questions and questions...in a sense as Socrates supposedly did (via Plato).....I think Heidegger, like Marx, sees the effect of modern 'alienation' and so on...But one cant avoid reading these guys....I am trying to find my way via Nietzsche (even read works by Rousseau, esp. his essays and also his superb 'Confessions'). All possibly to look at Derrida but it is true these philosophers are not easy.
Being a small creator trying to educate the masses is a tough job. Moreover, describing intricate material in a palatable way is no easy feat. Thank you for taking the time to really break down Heidegger's essay and diving deep into the intricacies of his work! I'm excited to see your future content!
My thanks for putting these out here, it's been wonderful revisiting ideas with you
Deeply profound and so important. Thank you for deciphering Heideigger so well!
Great video, Sir. As a huge fan of Heidegger for nearly half of my life, I truly enjoy seeing these videos come into view. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your interpretation and explanation! I'm sure it was difficult to make it so accessible, but I think you did a stand up job!
Incredibly happy I could provide. Thanks so much for the comment.
This is one of the most beautiful, and most important, essays I have ever read. It takes a lot of work, but boy is it worth it.
Thank you for putting this together. You did a very fine job. I found it helpful.
I've just found your channel, great content! You are good at explaining something so hard as Heidegger. Thanks!
Thanks, I really had hard time understanding his philosophy no matter how much I read😭 but you amazingly made it easier to understand and provided a good insight, too❤️
This is my first time hearing these ideas. Absolutely fascinating.
Been searching through lots of online video resources on Heidegger. I really rate this one very, very highly. I've subscribed and will be dipping in regularly. Thank you Epoch!
Here because I am going to present Heidegger's philosophical analysis about technology, in front of my classmates and professor. Hope it goes well, wish me luck.
"All necessary *resources* and citations in the description!"
clever
i genuinely really enjoyed your video. it was very insightful yet easy to follow. thank you so much
Thank you! I wish I had seen this earlier. I have struggled with Heidegger but recognized his importance.
Thank you so much for making this. I am in the process of published a Bioethics piece where I utilize this part of Heidegger's philosophy and extend it to biotechnology. One of the reviewers had a big problem with it, and i started to doubt whether I was using Heidegger correctly. Your video helped to solidify my reasoning for using it.
finally, I found someone who was able to explain Heidegger's philosophy towards technology in terms that was easy to understand! thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! I am subscribing :)))
Beautifully presented man! I’m looking forward to more content from you
Great. The effort you make on your videos is appreciated. I get a lot out of them.
This was so good. I've watched the first part as well. It must be so difficult to explain something like this. Amazing
Lovely unbiased sharing that takes up the major points.
you are amazing sir, you deliver the message so good that I really understand it.
Thank you so much for this video on QCT.
THANK YOU FOR THIS. THIS IS ENLIGHTENING
Thank you sooo much!!! This video is helping me a lot to write an essay
My second lecture....I'm hooked! Terrific explanations of complex, abstract concepts. (I just subscribed.)
You should do a video about Heidegger's essay on the origin of the work of art!!
Great content, cheers mate
Great video! Really helped summarise everything from his essay
Thank you, your explaination is very clear and beautiful 🙏
Completely amazing work. Thank you
One way of considering technology is through the myth of Pandora's Box. Once technology is released, it can never be re-boxed. Or perhaps through the myth of the Garden of Eden and the loss of unity brought upon by knowledge, and the casting out from the garden, which is then guarded by a flaming sword.
We can see that these things were understood in their essence (metaphysically) and represented symbolically throughout the ages.
We have lost the ability to think symbolically, because of technology - which has removed and outsourced our inner potential to the service of production.
This is a great point.
Cool vid man have to watch it 20 time tho. Love being& time where Sartre got all his ideas. Oh yes he did.
We no longer use metaphors?
@@beingsshepherd We no longer understand symbols as they pertain to ourselves - ie as mirrors
@@SP-ny1fk Forgive me, are you saying that ... modern technology has oriented the common mind to function so directly and literally perhaps, that the mental faculties required for apprehending allegorical wisdom, have been forsaken to incapacity?
This channel is so underrated wow
This video is very helpful! I had a hard time reading the materials but with yours I was able to understand it clearly. :D
This helped me so much! Thank you very much! Subscribed.
Excellent lecture! Brilliant!
Heidegger on Technology was wonderfully put together.
If i can make a request, please make video on "Last god and new beginning or Anfag" of Heidegger as that points to what awaits us in the future.
thank you so much for this. we are to write a critique paper about this and i could not understand a single thing from his essay
great job of communicating very difficult ideas while not oversimplifying or misleading
Excellent video, really helpful, thanks for posting
This is the simplest explanation of The Question Concerning Technology ever! At first, I was really just trying to learn the whole thing for the sake of a test, but now that I understood it through this amazing video of yours, I began to see it's relevance to not just my course, but to the world as well.
A huge thanks to you, Sir!
Super happy to hear this! Glad you enjoyed!
It was supposed to be written before being and time, and I just leave the question of meaning of being on to reverse it to the other as a horizon for pathological psychology. He is being literal, hammers, pens, paper.
thanks for this. it comforts me to know others made a stand for the importance of man's relation to nature in the past but I become anxious knowing we have yet to change as we blast into the future
A key highlight of the video is your application of Heidegger's ideas in the essay toward its real-world implications, so thank you. However, although Heidegger himself spends a brief time exploring it in the final sections of the essay, it would have been interesting to see you cover his re-institution of art into his inquiry into technology (i.e. this framework he posits of the 'technē'). Although he doesn't directly proclaim art as a kind of salvation towards 'revealing,' the most potent aspect of the claim is that by considering art within the relational properties you mention in the video, it creates not just a new lease on considering the essence of technology, but also a newfound lease on questioning the 'mystery' (as he calls it) of art itself, and thus of ourselves (Being).
Great follow up to the first vid!
Thank you, with your guidance, I’ll have another go at Being and Time, etc.
Hopefully, this makes your reading a bit easier!
amazing video. thank you for this!
Loving your videos so far!
Thanks so much! Glad to be of service!
This channel is amazing.
thank you ! not a huge heidegger fan but I enjoy his ideas of technology and art,
Thank you so much!
Great video. Really appreciate it
Excellent work!
Awesome. Big fan of Heidegger's ideas; this gives a good insight into some of his more difficult to read ones (all of them).
Super happy I could help!
thanks for further explanation
Incredibly well made video with a great tie in to the modern world. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! I have to write a paper relating Heidegger's claim that the essence of technology is nothing technological to the film Castle in the Sky and this really helped me break down 'The Question Concerning Technology.' Keep up the great work!
Love that movie and of course! 100 percent related to what is explained in this video. I want to watch it again under this lens
Thank you so much that was soo helpful
Great video, was excited for this one.
Thank you so much! I was as well. This was actually the video I was most excited for regarding Heidegger and wanted to release this first. But, covering Being and Time first made more sense.
@@epochphilosophy Yeah I'm currently reading Being and Time when I can after work and it's pretty good so far. Despite the concepts being difficult to conceptually understand on first glance I feel as if he made it the simplest he possibly could. I'm understanding more than I thought though, or atleast I think I am ahaha. I'll never know if I'm internalizing it correctly until I refer to some other secondary sources on it all.
THANK YOU!
this is so much better than any of my professors lectures... why am i paying tuition for that
im literally teaching myself this year, just needed a book, couple free videos and a few tests, dont even know why im paying so much some useless teachers
Zero comments? Amazing. Let me be the first, then, to congratulate you on a well-researched and communicated video. I am in the midst of writing an essay as part of my Ph.D. and I am considering using a bit of good ol' Heidegger. Thank you for this!
really though. how is there zero comments lol. Best of luck on your essay.
@@TK_Velvet it’s also the same with his other videos, it used to have comments then I just saw 1 or 2
Great video by the way!
Just love this man
Awesome video. Keep it up
Fantastic video.
THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS VIDEO. Our teacher Gave us a Summative Assessment that require us to make video of our self summarizing the article concerning technology and what lifestyle changes I can adopt about this article.
I like how the narrator has a soothing voice, and I especially like how he doesn't talk down to the viewer.
Great. Thank you for making this video.
#STS
absolutely stellar video, this really opened my eyes and contextualized my angst towards my internet addiction. and in the greater scheme the parts about arbitrarily corp. turning people into productive commodities. its all really striking. it reminds me of the message of the movie princess mononoke. if you haven't seen it, you should.
Thank you so much
oh gosh! this is very helpful to me.
I just watched this vid with the reason of this subject being part of a lesson from my final exam, wondering what is the part 3 of video relating to Martin Heidegger. I do need to allot time to understand this though so will rewatch and research more about him. Curiousity is something else
Amazing video, thankyou
I love your work
You've done an impeccable job communicating a deeply profound message in the most digestible manner. Well done to you!
So good, your channel will blow up
Thanks so much friend, have something important coming up soon!
I see Kant in this, a lot.
That deep Kant's philosophy is.
Thanks!
I greatly appreciate you
Blew my mind
This man ... The link between the development of atomic weapons and doing the same to people (manipulating organic beings) is so clear in his mind. You can sense it in the way he says it. Luckily I understand and speak German myself which gives an extra understanding of the way he speaks the words. Great to see this clip.
Ultimately, a pretty good video
Thanks! That was a nice introduction and that was quite accessible. I think the concept of Enframing was lacking in this video. Enframing probably would have made the video more difficult to understand though. I'm no expert but my understanding is Standing Reserve means more than resource because Heidegger's critique of modern technology is our understanding of the world is enframed and controlled by models such as mathematical/scientific models. So one of the dangers is the world becomes just measurable quantities or variables in a model or equation and data science/AI is probably going to make it even more dangerous. Subscribed!
Excellent explanation of Heideggerian thought. It seems as though the corporatism phenomenon has kicked into overdrive recently and I'm really get the sense of a being treated like a non-being.
This video is a good source to refer back to, thank you.
Great work bro.
Thanks so much!
@@epochphilosophy I suggest you take up Wittgenstein one day, especially the early Wittgenstein, if it ain't out your domain of intrest.
Great video.
Thank you
this is ULTIMATELY the best video about the question concerning technology 🤩
Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology" was jarringly insightful, given what see happening in our world of "modern technology" today. We have clearly reached, or are rapidly approaching, the negative extreme of his thesis. The modern technologies we celebrate today - including, or even especially, management technologies - exist almost exclusively for his "enframing" idea, and subsequently for the domination of nature and humanity. And the "freedom" (in Heidegger's sense of the word)of things, beasts, and humans consequently has been eviscerated. It's a pity that few people, especially those in power and authority, pay much attention to philosophers, especially great and insightful ones.
I'm here for homework, I don't have the attention span to read Heidegger's articles, thus, thx for this vid!
Amazing video
Why did I just find out about this channel?! Gorgeous!
Thank you so much, friend!
Fire, axes used for chopping wood, these are technological in the same fundamental sense that a modern computer is. Yet Heidegger doesn't warn us of the danger of using fire to keep warm.
In the same vein, this video makes a distinction between the pre-industrial view of nature as one of a habitat to cooperate with, and the post-industrial view of nature as something to control and exploit. I don't see how this can be substantiated. It's a difference of degree, not of kind. Technology is just more rampant now, but it's not like technology wasn't a huge part of the lives of people in the pre-industrial revolution.
Collective Human addiction to "advantage" .
Competition or co-operation?, with each other and nature?
Word
You just saved me from my philosophy teacher holy sht the text is so hard to read
good shit bro
Brother you are doing excellent work. Have you ever compared this to the philosophy of Vedanta?
Thanks, friend. I have not! Although eastern/Hindu philosophy doesn't seem too far off or alien to Heidegger. At least on the surface.
Heidegger stole all my ideas that I didn’t have yet
The clip of Heidegger speaking is most interesting. Thanks for that and for this very thought-provoking synopsis-interpretation. I struggled, half a century ago, with Heidegger's meaning; What is meant by this "clearing"? This video gives me some serious clues, along w/ motivation to reread the text! I especially wanted to revisit this particular You Tube film, in light of Tucker Carlson's recent interview w/ Elon Musk. Musk shares Heidegger's worry that AI, e.g., could get "out of control." Heidegger's worry here was about the "bio" aspect. Perhaps it amounts essentially to Musk's worry. It is interesting that Heidegger worries less about The Bomb, than about Technology generally as our modern-Western "mindset," as it were (at least in this interpretation). Musk, too, sees that AI, e.g., is not merely "neutral," not merely "a means," but rather something that, again, could get catastrophically "out of control." Musk used the expression, "ending civilization." And so he now intends to make yet another company, a company focusing on Artificial Intelligence. One of Musk's former friends believes in a "Digital God." And this friend labels Elon, a "species-ist," meaning someone who actually values human life! So, we see, the great Heidegger is more relevant than ever before.
What a great fucking video. You've given me, in Heidegger, more shit to stuff into my brain and spend the next week looking for content. I never knew I naturally had so many beliefs in common with a famous philosopher. Actually, yes I did, because logical human beings usually think similarly.
