Introduction

Martin Heidegger’s thought constituted from the very beginning a watershed in philosophy. Its epoch-making relevance was immediately clear and elicited significant, often opposed reactions. It left a profound trace in the entire twentieth century and its influence reaches all the way up to our present. The present volume aims to exemplify scholarship working in this direction, i.e., working “with” Heidegger, with his texts and his legacy, neither to celebrate or despise him, nor to petrify his thinking with the painstaking exegesis of the new editions of his texts, but rather in order to question and think through our present under the threefold prism of the keywords mentioned in the subtitle of this book: technology, living, society, science.
