0:01good day everyone welcome to ss36
0:04science technology and Society
0:07for today's lesson we will be talking
0:10about human flourishing in science and
0:12technology
0:15for this lesson we will be talking about
0:18the following First Technology as a mode
0:22of revealing second technology as
0:25policies
0:26third questioning is the piety of
0:29thought
0:30support and framing the way of revealing
0:34in modern technology
0:36the fifth one is about human person
0:39swallowed by technology
0:41and the last one is about art as a way
0:44out of and framing
0:46[Music]
0:48at the end of this lesson it is expected
0:51that you will be able to discuss what
0:54technology reveals
0:56examine modern technology in its role in
0:59human flourishing and explain the role
1:02of Art in a technological world
1:09science as part of human life the
1:12progress of human civilizations
1:14throughout history mirrors the
1:16development of Science and Technology
1:19the human person as both the bearer and
1:22beneficiary of Science and Technology
1:24flourishes and finds meaning in the
1:27world that he or she builds in the
1:30person's pursuit of the good life he or
1:32she may unconsciously acquire consume or
1:36destroy what the world has to offer
1:38and it is necessary to reflect on the
1:41things that truly matter
1:43Science and Technology must be taken as
1:46part of human life that marriage
1:48reflective and as the German philosopher
1:51Martin Heidegger says meditative
1:54thinking
1:56Science and Technology despite its
1:59methodical and Technical nature gives
2:02meaning to the life of a person making
2:04his or her way in the world
2:07to be able to appreciate the fruits of
2:10Science and Technology they must be
2:12examined not only for their function and
2:15instrumentality but also for their
2:17greater impact on Humanity as a whole
2:20the various gadgets the machines
2:22appliances and vehicles are all tools
2:26that make human lives easier because
2:28they serve as a means to an end the
2:31utility lies on providing people with a
2:34certain good convenience or knowledge
2:37on the other hand medical research
2:40employs the best scientific and
2:42technological principles to come up with
2:45curious vertices and ways to prevent
2:47illnesses to ensure a good quality of
2:50life we now move forward to our
2:52discussion of Technology as a mode of
2:55revealing
2:56in his seminal work the question of
2:59Technology Martin Heidegger urges us to
3:03question technology and see beyond
3:05people's common understanding of it
3:08according to ancient Doctrine the
3:11essence of a thing is considered to be
3:13what the thing is we ask the question
3:15concerning technology when we ask what
3:18it is everyone knows the two statements
3:21that answer our question one says
3:24technology is a means to an end while
3:27the other one says technology is a human
3:30activity
3:31the two definitions of Technology Belong
3:34Together
3:35part to post it ends and procure and
3:37utilize the means to them is a human
3:39activity
3:41the manufacturer and utilization of
3:44equipment tools and machines the
3:46manufactured and used things themselves
3:49and the needs and ends that they serve
3:51all belong to what technology is
3:54the whole complex of these contribances
3:57is technology
3:59and Technology itself is a contrivance
4:02and in Latin it's an instrumental
4:06[Music]
4:08the current conception of technology
4:11according to which it is a means and a
4:14human activity can therefore be called
4:16the instrumental and anthropological
4:19definition of Technology
4:21this definition is correct but not
4:24necessarily true the true entails so
4:27much more meaning and significance
4:30Heidegger however asserted that the true
4:33can be pursued through the correct
4:35Heidegger urged people to Envision
4:38Technology as a mode of revealing as it
4:41shows so much more about the human
4:43person and the world technology is a way
4:47of bringing forth and making something
4:49by considering technology as a mode of
4:52revealing then truth is brought forth
4:56for instance the truth that the Earth is
4:59weeping could be revealed by the
5:01information and data taken by modern
5:03devices
5:05whatever truth is unpowered it will be
5:08something more meaningful and
5:09significant Than The Superficial or
5:12practical use of Technology
5:16Heidegger also put forward the ancient
5:19Greek concepts of aletaya
5:23Oasis
5:25and technique
5:28means unhiddenness or disclosure polices
5:32on the other hand is defined as bringing
5:35forth for Aristotle it means making or
5:38producing something for a purpose it is
5:41sometimes used to refer to poetry and
5:44composition
5:45on the other hand technique or the root
5:49word for technology means skill art or
5:52craft it is a means of bringing forth
5:55something
5:57moreover in Heidegger's work technology
6:00is a policies that discloses or reveals
6:04the truth to think of Technology as
6:07poetry takes a different mindset a more
6:10reflective and sensitive way of looking
6:12at the world this perspective is not
6:14easy to take especially in this era when
6:17instant knowledge is demanded and Split
6:20Second updates are the norm and when the
6:22pursuit of Fame and Fortune is
6:24unceasingly bannered on social media
6:27there is so much noise in the world that
6:30it would take a disciplined stepping
6:31back to see what Heidegger meant and to
6:34appreciate how technology could actually
6:36be poetry that praying support through
6:39it moving forward let us now talk about
6:42technology as policies is it applicable
6:45to modern technology
6:47does the idea the technology is policies
6:50applied to modern technology
6:53hydrogen characterizes modern technology
6:55as a challenging Port since it is very
6:58aggressive in its activity modern
7:01technology may also be a mode of
7:03revealing but not as the harmonious
7:05bringing forth that they subscribe any
7:07species of Technology as policies
7:10modern technology challenges nature and
7:14demands of it resources that are most of
7:17the time forcibly extracted for human
7:19consumption and storage it brings about
7:22a setting upon of the land
7:24mining is an example of modern
7:26technology that challenges Sport and
7:29raise about the setting upon the plant
7:31it extracts minerals from the earth and
7:34forcefully assigns the land as a means
7:36to fulfill the never-ending demands of
7:39people
7:40with modern technology revealing never
7:42comes to an end the revealing always
7:45happens on our own terms as everything
7:48is on demand information at our
7:51fingertips food harvested even out of
7:54season Gravity defied the fly off the
7:57space such as the capacity of the human
7:59person
8:01we no longer need to work with the
8:03rhythms of nature because we have
8:05learned to control it
8:07the other nature and extract process and
8:11make ready for consumption and store
8:13what we have forced it to reveal
8:15Heidegger described modern technology as
8:18an agent switches standing reserve and
8:21stockpiling for its own sake this
8:24observation is manifested in a
8:27mechanization and digitization of many
8:30aspects of our life from agriculture to
8:33Communications and transportation among
8:36many authors
8:37with these ideas we now move forward to
8:40the topic of questioning as a piety of
8:43thought
8:44let us start with this statement
8:46questioning is a piety of thought
8:49in this stepping back and taking stop of
8:52things we begin to wonder in question
8:55one may admire the intricacy of
8:58mechanisms and the sophistication of
9:00mobile applications
9:01another May Marvel at the people and
9:04circumstances that allowed for such
9:06technology
9:07there is so much wealth of insights that
9:10can be gathered when people stop think
9:13and question
9:15normally piety is associated with being
9:19religious for Heidegger however piety
9:22means obedience and submission in
9:26addressing what technology has brought
9:27forth one cannot help but be submissive
9:30to what his or her thoughts and
9:32Reflections elicit sometimes thinking
9:36brings forth insights that the mind has
9:38not yet fully understood or developed
9:40there are times when one's thinking
9:43brings forth Eureka moments
9:46whatever understanding is found becomes
9:50significant because it is evoked by
9:52questioning who or what we essentially
9:54are in the world
9:56for example it is a known fruit the
9:59three human beings and everything around
10:01us are made of the same substances that
10:04constitute the Stars therefore we
10:08actually are all star dust do we take
10:10this as a matter of fact or do we wonder
10:13at the significance
10:15it is when we start questioning the
10:18three submit ourselves to our thoughts
10:21this kind of questioning leads one to
10:24search for his or her place in the
10:26universe and in a grand scale of things
10:29it is through this process that we build
10:32await solar is the truth of who he or
10:35she is as a being in this world
10:38it is simply saying lowering our purpose
10:41and the truth
10:42the next part of this lesson is about
10:45and framing the way of revealing in
10:48modern technology the way of revealing
10:51in modern technology is an intrigue this
10:54and framing the challenges for it and
10:57sets upon nature is a way of looking at
11:00reality in simple terms it is as if
11:04nature is put in a box or in a frame so
11:07that it can be better understood and
11:09controlled according to people's desires
11:11polices is concealed in in framing as
11:15nature is viewed as an orderable and
11:17calculable system of information
11:20in looking at the world Heidegger
11:23distinguished between calculative
11:26thinking and meditative thinking in
11:29calculative thinking as mentioned
11:32earlier Juan orders and puts a system to
11:35Nature so that it can be understood
11:37better and controlled in meditative
11:40thinking One lets nature reveal itself
11:43to him or her without forcing it one
11:46kind of thinking is not in itself better
11:49than the other
11:50the human person has the faculty for
11:53both and would do well to use them in
11:56Synergy however people also want control
12:00and are afraid on unpredictability so
12:03calculative thinking is more often used
12:05and framing is done because people want
12:09Security even if the ordering that
12:11happens in and framing is violence and
12:14even if the earth is made as a big
12:16gasoline station for which we extract
12:19stockpile and put in standing Reserve
12:22ready to be used as we see fits the next
12:26part of this presentation deals with
12:29human person swallowed by technology
12:32we as human beings are really swallowed
12:35by technology
12:37though it is true that the individual
12:39takes part in the revealing of nature
12:43limits but still be recognized humans do
12:47not really call the shots on this Earth
12:49if we allow ourselves to get swallowed
12:52by modern technology we'll lose the
12:54essence of who we are as beings in this
12:57world
12:58and we are constantly plugged online and
13:01no longer have the capacity for
13:04authentic personal encounters then we
13:07are truly swallowed by technology if we
13:10cannot let go of the conveniences and
13:12profits brought about by processes and
13:15industries that pollute the environment
13:17and cause climate change then technology
13:20has consumed our Humanity
13:25nevertheless as expressed by the poet
13:28holberlin but where danger is grows the
13:32saving power also the saving power lies
13:36in the essence of Technology as
13:38technology
13:39Essence is the way in which things are
13:42as that which ensures Heidegger further
13:45asserted that the essence of technology
13:48is nothing technological the essence of
13:52technology is not found in the
13:54instrumentality and function of machines
13:57constructed but in the significance such
14:00as technology and boats
14:02he also expressed that the various
14:04problems brought about by humans
14:06dependence on technology cannot be
14:09simply resolved by refusing technology
14:12altogether and framing as the mode of
14:15revealing in modern technology tends to
14:18block coincides The Poetry that is found
14:22in nature can no longer be easily
14:24appreciated when Nature is in frame if
14:27the Earth has just become a gas station
14:29for us then we have become and framed as
14:33well
14:34in modern technology the way of
14:36revealing is no longer poetic it is
14:39challenging when instruments are
14:41observed linearly its poetry can no
14:44longer be found for example the water
14:48meal is a primitive structure compared
14:50to the higher power plant or the first
14:53iPhone model is just an absolute piece
14:55of machine
14:57Heidegger also proposes art as a way out
15:00of this end framing with art we are
15:03better able to see the poetic in nature
15:05in reality it leads us away from
15:08calculative thinking and towards
15:11meditative thinking through meditative
15:14thinking we will recognize that nature
15:17is Art par Excellence hence nature is
15:20the most poetic when meditatively
15:23looking at technology one will begin to
15:26question its significance in his or her
15:28life more than in its instrumental use
15:31technology is normally thought of as
15:34that which solves problems but Heidegger
15:37asserted that is something that must be
15:40questioned again it is in questioning
15:43that we build a way to understand
15:46in the nuclear Age We view nature as a
15:49problem to be solved the calculative
15:51thinking in which we perceive nature in
15:54a technical and scientific manner is
15:56becoming more important in the modern
15:58world on the other hand it is meditative
16:02thinking that provides a way for us to
16:04remain rooted in the essence of who we
16:07are it grounds us so as not to let our
16:10technological devices affect our real
16:13core and warp our nature to end this
16:17presentation let us take time to ponder
16:20on the following questions
16:22how is technology a mode of revealing
16:25in your daily experience of Technology
16:27what else is revealed to you aside from
16:30its function
16:32why should technology be questioned how
16:35is questioning the piety of thought
16:38and the last one how does art provide a
16:42way out of it framing
16:45that's it for this lesson on ss36
16:48science technology and Society about
16:51human flourishing in science and
16:54technology thank you very much for
16:56listening and have a great day ahead
