Martin Heidegger
Image
Is the earth in our head? Or do we stand on the earth?
Martin Heidegger
Image
Technology is therefore no mere means. Technology is a way of revealing. If we give heed to this, then another whole realm for the essence of technology will open itself up to us. It is the realm of revealing, i.e., of truth
Martin Heidegger
