Since at least as early as the mid 70s, students interested in Heidegger have been applying the technology question to Heidegger's existential ontology. It's an interesting question since his writings were used by seminal writers of the Deep Ecology movement (Sessions and Duvall) as an almost if not thoroughly mystical return to the way the world unfolds from our human touch. Attending to the ways in which natural beings are taken up and transformed by human technology we had hoped would reveal to us the intelligent dynamics of a living world. Such would harken to that wonderful -- and sometimes extremely powerful and dangerous -- playfulness the world exhibits, "full of gods" as the ancients would say, from pine sprouts to nuclear wars.
