Técnica y serenidad. El recorrido heideggeriano sobre la esencia de la técnica moderna

The Heideggerian reflection on das Gestell in the age of planetary technology, and its own differentiation from Technik, is not limited, as is often and quickly stated, to the so-called “Heidegger II” and to classic writings such as The Question Concerning Technology. On the contrary, as I will try to illustrate, it is a constant present from his very beginnings and also in the stage known as Kehre. In other words, it is a topic that runs through all his thought, linked both to his analysis of alétheia and to his study of Modernity and our contemporaneity. Thus, the aim of this article is to elaborate a synoptic exposition of the course and evolution of Heidegger’s philosophy with regard to the question of Technik. To this end, a global overview of his approach will be made, from his critique of the metaphysical tradition and its state of the question to the final proposal he suggests.
