Abstract
Heidegger's views on technology have had a great influence on contemporary philosophy of technology in both continental and analytic traditions. In this essay, the essence of modern technology and its relation to the history of Being, Ge-stell, and the danger of its domination, and Heidegger's approach to escape from the current technological atmosphere, and finally some deficiencies of his approach to technology, will be discussed. Heidegger considers the duty of human beings in our current age as preparation of readiness for the advent of a saving God. Releasement toward things and meditative thinking prepare us for the emergence of a post-technological age.
