Highlight (green), Sep 24, 2013, 21:00, Shunryu: In true thinking man is used by Being, which needs man as the openness that provides the measure and the bounds for Being's manifesting of itself in whatever is.

Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: Heidegger, in keeping with the best speculative tradition, often carries us beyond our facile conceiving to seek the ground of our thinking.

This "bringing forth" was manifest first of all in p hysis, that presencing wherein the burstingforth arose from within the thing itself. Techne was also a form of this bringing forth, but one in which the bursting-forth lay not in the thing itself but in another. In techne, through art and handcraft, man participated in conjunction with other contributing elements-with "matter," "aspect," and "circumscribing bounds" -in the bringing forth ofa thing into being (QT 7-8). Moreover the arts of the mind were called techne also (QT 13).

The phenomenon of the "sub- . ject" is itself not new. It was present among the Greeks. But there subject, hypokeimenon, that-which-lies-before (for the Greeks, that which looms up, e.g., an island or mountain), meant the reality that confronted man in the power of its presence (cf.' Sem. 7). With Descartes at the beginning of the modern period, this meaning of hypokeimenon, subject, was decisively transformed.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">At this point human self-consciousness became subject par excellence, and everything that had the character of subject-of that-which-lies-before-came to find the locus and manner of its being precisely in that self-consciousness,

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">For in its fulfillment Heidegger sees the holdingsway of a "destining" or "sending forth" of Being, that has come upon man and molded him and his world (QT 24).

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">This simultaneous juxtaposing of the destining of Being and the doing of man is absolutely fundamental for Heidegger's thinking.

It is rather that phenomenon, ruled from out of Being itself, that is centrally determining all of Western history.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Today all things are being swept together into a vast network in which their only meaning lies in their being available to serve some end that will itself also be directed toward getting everything under control.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">In positing for itself the preservation-enhancement conditions of life that attend its own necessary advance, the will to power cannot and does not receive what comes to it and leave it to its spontaneously flowing presencing. Rather it must arrest it, delimit it, make it into a constant reserve, into that on the basis of which it itself moves forward (WN 83 ff.).

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Nietzsche designates as "nihilism" the devaluing of the transcendent values imposed on man by traditional metaphysical thinking; and he calls "completed nihilism" the "revaluing," accomplished in his own thinking, that at once guards against a slipping back into those former values and provides an affirmative basis for the positing of new values.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Highlight (green), Sep 25, 2013, 17:06, Shunryu: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">It is just this thinking that is for Heidegger in the highest degree "nihilistic."

That is why the instrumental conception of technology conditions every attempt to bring man into the right relation to technology. Everything depends on our manipulating technology in the proper manner as a means. We will, as we say, Uget" technology "spiritually in hand." We will master it. The will to mastery becomes all the more urgent the more technology threatens to slip from human control.
