Are you enchanted?

As early as in the 1930s, Martin Heidegger talked about the enchantment of modern times. Contemporary human beings are bewitched by technology and its constant advancements. Yes, they are obsessed with the conviction that everything must surely be calculable, usable and made manageable.

Yet Heidegger's line of thought appears to be unfulfilled, seeing as it is sprung from a, for him, typical reluctance towards exact science and technical calculation. The concept may, however, be valuable even without this programmatically negative stance. The enchantment of modernity lies in the actual concept of progress as such.

Yes, the line of thought may be unfulfilled, but I don't find the reluctance mentioned, but instead an understanding of the limits of science and calculation.  ¶ 9:25 AM
