““Heidegger connects the linchpin of the Kantian Paradigm—A5 Active Knower, that is, the idea that the subject organizes experience—to what he considers to be the defining feature of modern life: technology. He distinguishes between technology as the various mechanical items we use in our daily lives and the essence of technology, which is the (ICS) contemporary understanding of Being or the way that entities and we ourselves exist in this epoch (see Heidegger, BW 311, 318–19).””
