Let’s Analyze

1. How is technology a mode of revealing?

Technology is a mode of being, or of revealing, and it is not something that we create. This
indicates that individual objects have their own unique appearance, resilience, and relations between
parts and components, as well as their own unique way of expressing themselves and the environment
in which they work.

Heidegger's statement of "revealing" is closely linked to what he refers to elsewhere as

"regaining," which he says exposes "the clearing of being." He does not mean a form of conscious or
unconscious thinking when he says this, but rather something that allows them to exist in the first place.
It is related to the ability to communicate in a language and the ability to live among other people in the
world. Technology, considered as a means of exposing, would indicate that it is inextricably connected
to the way we work, our activities, and our institutions. It would back up Neil Postman's argument that
the role of a technology follows from its form, and that emerging technologies pose a challenge to
institutions. It may be upsetting, because we like to think of ourselves as rational beings who can
critically represent technology and freely choose how we can use it.

2. Why should technology be questioned?

 We shall be questioning concerning about technology, and thereby, we'd like to establish a free
relationship with it. The aim of challenging technology is to break free from its shackles, not through a
lack of technology, but through a deeper understanding of its essence and significance.

Technology has played a significant role in our everyday lives. Since the birth of the Digital Age,
it has been a part of our system. It has served in the advancement of the communication and
information fields by leading to various developments. Indeed, it has been tremendously helpful. It
does, however, have some drawbacks. And it is for this reason that technology should be challenged.
Technology has both positive and negative implications. It can make life simpler for you, but it can also
make life complicated for you. It is entirely based on how we use it.

Explain why Heidegger manifest the calculative thinking towards meditative thinking.

Calculative thinking is a more analytical type of human cognition in which people acquire
knowledge and integrate it for a particular purpose. Calculative reasoning is still in use for humanity, as
it is needed for life's more realistic activities and motives. It is the more aggressive part of human
thought, concerned with doing something rather than thinking about the consequences. Meditative
thinking, on the other hand, entails much more work and goes much deeper than rational
measurement. Beyond the basic calculative method of doing something, meditative reasoning tells us
why we can do or not do it.

Describe technology as a means to an end, and technology is a human activity.

The two concepts of technology are intertwined related. Posing goals and obtaining and using
the resources to achieve them is a human operation. Technology encompasses the development and
usage of machinery, instruments, and machines, as well as the produced and used items themselves, as
well as the needs and goals that they represent. Technological objects, as Heidegger points out, are
means to an end, and are designed and controlled by humans, but the nature of technology is
something else entirely.

In a nutshell

My turn:

2. The concept of human flourishing was best captured by the term “Eudaimonia.” It is defined as a
contentment state of being happy, healthy, and prosperous. It is also understood as the effort to attain
self-discovery and fulfillment within the setting of society, each with the right to pursue his or her own
efforts to achieve such state.

3. Science and technology clearly affect the human experience and human understanding of happiness.
Advancements in science and technology having made life easier, greatly influence the way people view
what the good life is.

4. Recent studies shows that human understanding of human flourishing includes mental and physical
health, satisfaction in one’s life, meaning and purpose and social relationship. In order to come up with
technological innovations, humanity has taken control of the environment to take advantage of its
natural resources. It takes millions of years for a mountain to take shape but only a few years to flatten
it to make way for the development of roads, subdivisions, and other structures.

5. Emphasizing the human flourishing becomes important because it is characterized by a holistic

concern for spiritual, moral, physical, economic, material, political, psychological, and social context
necessary for human beings to live according to their design.
