DESCRIPTION
For Martin Heidegger broadly, the question of being formed the essence of his philosophical inquiry. In The Question Concerning Technology, Heidegger sustains this inquiry, but turns to the particular phenomenon of technology, seeking to derive the essence of technology and humanity’s role of being with it. Heidegger originally published the text in 1954, in Vorträge und Aufsätze.The Question Concerning Technology was originally named "The Framework" and first presented on December 1, 1949 in Bremen. It was at this time presented as the second, out of four lectures, collectively called "Insight into what is." The other lectures were titled "The Thing", "The Danger" and "The Turning."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Question_Concerning_TechnologyMartin Heidegger (September 26, 1889 – May 26, 1976) was an influential German philosopher known for his existential and phenomenological explorations of the "question of Being." His best-known book, Being and Time, is considered to be one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century and he has been influential beyond philosophy, in literature, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Heidegger remains controversial due to his involvement with Nazism and statements in support of Adolf Hitler.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger
