Introduction: Situating Heidegger and the Philosophy of Technology • 27 Heidegger' s Philosophy of Technology Among the few philosophers to date to have taken technology seriously, it should be apparent that Martin Heidegger is a pioneer in this field. He was among the first to raise technology to a central concern for philosophy, and he was among the first to see in it a genuine ontological issue. This is the case in spite of the dominant and sometimes superficial interpretations of Heidegger that see in him only a negative attitude to technology.
Such conditions are not necessarily first known, they only gradually come clear. Historiologically, then, modern science does play a role. It begins to announce what lies behind science as technology comes to presence. The modern physical theory of nature prepares the way not simply for technology but for the essence of modern technology. For such gathering-together, which challenges man to reveal by way of ordering, already holds sway in physics. But in it that gathering does not yet come expressly to the fore.
The first of two books was De Maat van de Techniek (The Measure of Technology, 1993), which reviewed and analyzed a group of six forefathers for the philosophy of technology: Martin Heidegger, Lewis Mumford, Jacques Ellul, Hans Jonas, and two figures less known outside Europe, Gunter Anders and Arnold Gehlen. Then, in a follow-up in 1997, Achterhuis edited Vtm Stoomachine til Cyborg: Denken over techniek in de nieuwe wereld (From Steam Engine to Cyborg: Thoughts on Technics in the New World; an enlarged translated version appeared in 2001 as American Philosophy of Technology: The Empirical Turn), which, again, included six figures: Albert Borgmann, Andrew Feenberg, Don Ihde, and Langdon Winner, to which were added two thinkers newly baptized into philosophy of technology, Hubert Dreyfus and Donna Haraway.
