To think about for Tuesday

Heidegger (340-341)


Thus questioning, we bear witness to the crisis that in our sheer preoccupation with technology we do not yet experience the essential unfolding of technology, that in our sheer aesthetic-mindedness we no longer guard and preserve the essential unfolding of art. Yet the more questioningly we ponder the essence of technology, the more mysterious the essence of art becomes.


The closer we come to the danger, the more brightly do the ways into the saving power begin to shine and the more questioning we become.  For questioning is the piety of thought.
