Martin Heidegger
philosopher · 4 mentions across 4 readings
In this course
Heidegger appears in the course materials primarily through his phenomenological attention to physicality and embodied perception, which the readings invoke to critique purely linguistic or representational frameworks for understanding technology and being. His concern with how technology shapes human essence—particularly visible in his thinking on cybernetics and the reduction of humans to calculable beings—provides the philosophical groundwork for examining how AI and computational systems constitute their subjects. Rather than being developed extensively, Heidegger serves as a touchstone for arguments about the limits of treating human experience through abstract, disembodied paradigms.
