Reihe: Contributions to Hermeneutics

What is the relevance of Heidegger’s thought to today’s world? Why should we study it yet again? This book intends to answer these questions, tackling the most urgent contemporary challenges articulated in the subtitle: Technology, Living, Society & Science. We are living in an era of deep social transformation which are integrally intertwined with the development of technology. As the latter redefines the borders between places, countries, nations, and cultures and globalizes markets, customs, the exchange of information, and economic flows, it also revolutionizes the way we relate to bodies, to life, and to earth, by way of introducing both unprecedented opportunities and great dangers. At stake is the future of the human being, of the other living beings which populate our planet, and of our planet itself. The contributions in this volume show how much Heidegger’s thought constitutes an extraordinarily rich source of suggestions to orient ourselves amidst these problems, but they also prove that his thought is at play in the ways we understand and face them more than it is commonly believed. Heidegger foresaw them and identified their actual importance.
