The death of God that Nietzsche proclaimed has nothing to do with the crude atheism of intellectual adolescents today; rather, it is a sensing of the looming danger toward which the fate of humanity is heading. This is the same danger Heidegger perceived a century later in his famous statement, “Only a god can save us.” Despite the apparent difference between Nietzsche’s and Heidegger’s expressions, the meaning is the same. This article explores the nature of this danger for Heidegger and its connection to the truth of Being, between technology and art.
"Silence"; this was Wittgenstein solution for what he called the problems of philosophy. Once his teacher "Bertrand Russell" tried to solve the metaphysical problems of philosophy by basing it on a strict mathematical logic but bumped into a paradox, Wittgenstein saw that the problem isn't solved by a logic to the language but by understanding the logic of the language. This is why Wittgenstein saw that all philosophical problems are a byproduct of misunderstanding language, Wittgenstein didn't limit language but he just showed its limits, and what is behind this limits aren't meaningless but its just absurd to talk about but they're the most important, this is what Wittgenstein calls the "Mystic".
Heisenberg famously stated that modern physics has definitely decided in favor of Plato, but in favor of what? And what is the relation between Plato and Quantum Physics? Quantum physics wasn't just a scientific revolution but it reshaped our whole conception on reality, it makes us ask many questions of philosophies that are seen according to the classical scientific point of view absurd. This article explores the background of Heisenberg's quote, and dives deep into understanding the relation between Mathematics and physics, and the relation between the subject and object.
The greatest danger that Heidegger sees in technology isn't the problems that it causes like pollution, global warming, scarcity of recourses, or weapons of mass destruction; but it is the uprootedness of beings from "Being", their oblivion from the truth of "Being". The essence of technology has nothing to do with technology. This article explores of how Heidegger sees technology and its relation to the truth of Being, and where is the great danger that human beings face in this age that threatens their rootedness.
