Annotation
The purpose of the article is a comparative analysis of the philosophical views of M. Heidegger and A. Badiou on the essence of technology. The object of the analysis was
the ideas of these philosophers regarding the essence of technology. The subject of the study was technology.
The comparative approach allowed the authors to identify common and different grounds in the analysis of the essence of technology. Technology is associated with the existence of man. If M. Heidegger claims that technology, as a challenge to the subject, can be understood both as a danger and as salvation. The danger of technology according to M. Heidegger lies in the instrumental-mechanical understanding of the phenomenon, which closes and hides the true meaning of technology.
The authors come to the conclusion that if the threat to man is considered by M. Heidegger as a challenge to his original humanity, which is in no way connected with his
subjective cognitive activity and the instrumental way of its embodiment in technology, then for A. Badiou the idea of such “oblivion” of the existence of technology and its danger is leveled. Technology can pose a threat to the same extent as capital, which modifies and replaces being with the existing. As a result, technology as a type of being becomes part of the “multiple” being of capital, which is given a decisive role in the exercise of power over modern man.
