Summary

Martin Heidegger is considered one of the most important philosophers of all time, but his works are also regarded as impenetrable. One of his more approachable writings and one of his best is his essay on the nature of technology. The piece reveals a thinker who is less worried about technology itself and more worried about the mindset technology creates in the human being. Philosophy scholar Michael Millerman joins me to discuss this critical work.
