Abstract
In his text, The Question Concerning
Technology, Heidegger argues that modern mind is unaware of Being’s
self-destining which determines Dasein’s relation to their own essence and that
of other beings because it is in a delusion of being an ‘efficient cause’. A
bluntness of this kind not only endangers human-freedom but also puts natural
entities at the risk of losing their authenticity since the modern mode of
production regards nature as a reserve that is constantly in the service of
human-doings. Accordingly, the discussion carried out in this article is,
despite his criticism of the conception of ‘agency’ underlying western
metaphysics, whether or not Heidegger overcomes the problem of anthropocentrism
in his own philosophy.
