Our first postgraduate Work in Progress (WiP) seminar of the term is taking place this Thursday 11th January from 5-6:15 PM in S2.77 and on Teams. Aurian De Briey will present 'From Heidegger's social ontology to his answer to the technological challenge'. Everyone welcome!

Abstract:

In Der Spiegel Interview, Heidegger acknowledges his difficulty in providing a political answer to the technological challenge he depicts in The Question Concerning Technology. I aim to make sense of such difficulty by going back to Being and Time where lies Heidegger’s social ontology and ideal of authenticity. I argue that such an ideal, when translated in collective terms, is one of mere co-existence, where individuals can at best all be authentic alongside each other but never build together a common good. I then show how this feature is transferred in Heidegger’s critique of technology which is one of the way we see the world and then to his solution to it which is a praise of art.
