“I see the situation of man in the world of planetary technicity not as an inexitricable and inescapable destiny, but I see the task of thought precisely in this, that within its own limits it helps man as such achieve a satisfactory relationship to the essence of technicity. National Socialism did indeed go in this direction. Those people, however, were far too poorly equipped for thought to arrive at a really explicit relationship to what is happening today and has been underway for the past 300 years.” PeopleMenWorldYearsHas BeensHelpingTodayPastSituationDestinyAchieveLimitsHappeningsTasksEssenceSocialismExplicit Author:Martin Heidegger

“Freedom is only to be found where there is burden to be shouldered. In creative achievements this burden always represents an imperative and a need that weighs heavily upon man’s mood, so that he comes to be in a mood of melancholy. All creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, whether we are clearly aware of the fact or not, whether we speak at length about it or not. All creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, but this is not to say that everyone in a melancholy mood is creative.” MenNeedsFactsActionFoundSpeakCreativeAchievementBurdenMoodLengthMelancholyImperatives Author:Martin Heidegger

“Body', 'soul', and 'spirit' may designate phenomenal domains which can be detached as themes for definite investigations; within certain limits their ontological indefiniteness may not be important. When, however, we come to the question of man's Being, this is not something we can simply compute by adding together those kinds of Being which body, soul, and spirit respectively possess--kinds of being whose nature has not as yet been determined. And even if we should attempt such an ontological procedure, some idea of the Being of the whole must be presupposed.” IfsMenShouldKindMayImportantIdeasSoulWholeBodyTogetherSpiritCertainLimitsDeterminedThemeInvestigationDefiniteDomainProceduresPhenomenalDetachedBody Soul And Spirit Author:Martin Heidegger
“The threat to man does not come in the first instance from the potentially lethal machines and apparatus of technology. The actual threat has already affected man in his essence.
