Abstract

The article discusses the notion of Ge-stell raised by Heidegger in his late philosophy of technique. Such an idea is understood in a double possibility: as a device of technological control in the manner of an imposition, that is, as the essence of modern technique, or as a destination that grants salvation, that is, as uncovering the truth of being. Like Two-faced Janus, Dasein is permanently at the crossroads of choosing to remain in the mode of impropriety and, therefore, lose his autonomy before the technological omnipotence of Ge-stell, or else decide on an existence from ownership and projecting its being from the possibility of the ontological interchangeability of the Ge-stell, thus protecting its autonomy from the device's metaphysical dictatorship.

Summary

Introduction

The article discusses the notion of Ge­stell raised by Heidegger in his late philosophy of technique. Tomaré partido por la tesis que considera al Ge­stell como algo parecido a un límite onto­tecnológico desde donde el Dasein tiene la posibilidad de definir una relación más auténtica con su propio ser.
