摘要：This paper attempts to expound the thoughts of Martin Heidegger in the Filipino language. It focuses on an aspect of Heidegger’s philosophy which has tremendous relevance to the modern world and the modernizing Philippine context. This paper aims to show the connection between Heidegger’s philosophy of technology and his main task of elucidating the Question of Being (Seinsfrage). It argues that Heidegger’s rediscovery of the historical truth of Being from the early Greeks brings him to his questions concerning technology. The paper begins with Heidegger’s deconstruction of the whole history of Western metaphysics in order to retrieve a kind of thinking that is responsive to the call of Being. It also discusses Heidegger’s exposition of the danger of modern technology that challenges nature to produce something for stockfilling and use. His way out of the danger is by creating an ever awake condition on the part of man. Man, as he responds to the call of Being, must retrieve his origin‐al role in the destining of Being. He must be watchfull, for sleeping in a bank is a very dangerous vice.
