Abstract:

Heidegger's view of science and technology may be summarized as follows, The essence of technology is uncoveredness; both modern science and modern technology originate from metaphysics; modern technology finds expression in the opposition of subject and object, the prominence of beings, and the obliteration of being.Metaphysics, from the West, will inevitably become a popular powerful thinking due to its natural connection with technology as a human existence.As a result, modern technology can go everywhere in the world.Heidegger's quest for technology is helpful for us to clarify the essential relationship between human beings and technology, though it is unable to make us escape from technology.

Key words: Heidegger, being, metaphysics, science, technology
