The thesis explores the connection between téchne and metaphysics in Western thought, following Martin Heidegger’s interpretation. It traces the emergence of the modern view of the world as a technical object, beginning with the Platonic shift in the conception of truth, the Aristotelian distinction between phýsis and téchne, and culminating in the Cartesian reduction of being to a representable entity. For Heidegger, modern technology should not be understood as a mere tool, but as an expression of a destiny of Being, which manifests itself in the form of the Ge-stell. In the context of nihilism, and through the figures of Nietzsche and Jünger, technology appears as the ultimate fulfillment of metaphysics and at the same time as a symptom of the oblivion of Being that runs through the entire history of European thought.
La tesi esplora il nesso tra téchne e metafisica nel pensiero occidentale, seguendo la lettura di Martin Heidegger. Ripercorre l’emergere della visione moderna del mondo come oggetto tecnico, a partire dalla svolta platonica nella concezione della verità, dalla distinzione aristotelica tra phýsis e téchne, fino alla riduzione cartesiana dell’essere a ente rappresentabile. Per Heidegger, la tecnica moderna non va intesa come semplice strumento, ma come espressione di un destino dell’essere, che si manifesta nella forma del Ge-stell. Sullo sfondo del nichilismo, anche attraverso Nietzsche e Jünger, la tecnica appare come il compimento estremo della metafisica e insieme come sintomo dell’oblio dell’essere che attraversa l’intera storia del pensiero europeo.

Abstract
The thesis explores the connection between téchne and metaphysics in Western thought, following Martin Heidegger’s interpretation. It traces the emergence of the modern view of the world as a technical object, beginning with the Platonic shift in the conception of truth, the Aristotelian distinction between phýsis and téchne, and culminating in the Cartesian reduction of being to a representable entity. For Heidegger, modern technology should not be understood as a mere tool, but as an expression of a destiny of Being, which manifests itself in the form of the Ge-stell. In the context of nihilism, and through the figures of Nietzsche and Jünger, technology appears as the ultimate fulfillment of metaphysics and at the same time as a symptom of the oblivion of Being that runs through the entire history of European thought.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
