In this second of three sessions in our seminar, we will be focusing upon the essay The Question Concerning Technology

I will be presenting the key ideas and development from this section of the work during the session. These include:

• How to ask the question
• The instrumental, means, and ends
• Examining the four causes
• Poiesis, truth, and modern technology
• Standing reserve and enframing
• Technology as threat to revealing and truth
• Is there a way forward?

You do not have to have read the text previously, though of course, that may be helpful for understanding some of the key ideas that are worked out in them.

We will have plenty of time for Q&A and discussion during this session. You should feel free to ask questions at any point during the seminar, and you can use your microphone or the chat to do so.
