Becoming of being as the Ground to Technology and its Relationship to Humanityas Subjectification

Abstract

The becoming of being is affiliated with the concept of change and how the latter exerts an influence on the world. Although not posited with its results, becoming is made manifest by means of its engagement, which for modernity infers the presence of things (or objects) that reify the world. And because technology is associated with things, including its underlying matrix, it is now technology that dominates the becoming of being. Although humanity diminishes the importance of its being when it intensifies the being of technology, this intensification reverts back to humanity whose being then is enhanced. This relationship indicates that both humanity and technology are bound together in a cycle of dependency, since both use the same metaphysical means for change that is derivable from being's becoming. Originally utilized as an aid to well-being, technology has been transformed into the meaning of being itself.
