Ready-to-hand in Heidegger
philosophy as an everyday understanding of the world and the question concerning technology
pp. 115-126
Abstract
With this paper, I will try to investigate why ready-to-hand is one of the first philosophical findings on which all subsequent philosophical experience must be built. Therefore, I will establish a first approach to the concept ready-to-hand in Being and Time. Secondly, I will study the matter in the context of the phenomenological research about life considered an original problem for philosophy. Finally, we will discuss how this affects the relationship between man and the handiness world in terms of care (Sorge) in connection with technique and modern technology.
