An understanding of the contemporaneity by dialoguing with Martin Heidegger’s thinking

Abstract

This article presents a critical understanding of this time, which can be called contemporary. In this direction, the reflections on this historic moment prioritized the philosophical questioning of Heidegger. For broader interpretation of Heidegger's thought, was addressed quickly, the existential conceptions of man and the world brought in his "Being and Time". After these considerations, the "Age of Technique", marked by forgetfulness of being, was taken as the focus of discussion. Finally, we highlight the concern not with respect to the growth of planetary technique, but about the fact that man does not understand the magnitude and direction of the changes undertaken by this allocation; rejecting it, what is most itself, the condition of being the only being who reflects.
