"Although the critique of technology is important in understanding the value of Heidegger in the context of globalism, I think that some of the ways in which he "frames" it (particularly the Gestell, sadly translated as "enframing") is among the most problematic, and to me, least appealing elements of his philosophy. Nonetheless, some important essays (Question Concerning Technology, Age of the World Picture, Ge-stell), and some excellent essays (Word of Nietzsche: God is Dead) too."
"A very difficult, but rewarding, examination of the "essence of technology," in which lies the "supreme danger" and the "saving power." There is a questioning of the modernization of the society and Heidegger urges us to remember that art needs to play a role in society to prevent us from simply becoming a cog in a giant productivity machine, a "standing reserve," as he puts it."
