The contemporary world is characterized by an understanding of technique that rose from a proper and autonomous sense. This meaning can be characterized as a logos that comes from its own nature and manifests as technology throughout history. Understanding this meaning and taking it as a condition of our own existence in the world is to understand the technique as our heritage and our constructing. Understanding the essence of the technique is essential for the contemporary world, assuming that in that case that is the danger and the salvation of the species.
