In many different senses, the current global crisis (the clashes in the Middle East, the political and social instability of Latin America, the multiple migrations, the resurgence of fascism in European countries, and climate change, among others) is not properly a symptom of the failure of the Western enlightened project and its institutions. From a Heideggerian perspective, this is an ontological problem, a crisis in the technical approach to the world that becomes manifest thanks to the strong internal tensions of the ideal of progress. However, we cannot properly speak of a crisis in technology. You only have to look at the impressive developments of the last 20 years to see that we are in the most radically technical era that has ever existed. From personal computers to modifications in the human genome, they are samples and guarantees of the effective development and great promises of scientific and industrial development. Then the question makes sense: what does it mean to ask about the essence of technology, that is, of the technical approach to the world? What is the problem with technology?
