German philosopher whose Being and Time reframed the question of Being through existential analysis of Dasein, and who developed a sustained critique of modernity's technological enframing.
Being and Time: the question of Being has been forgotten; Dasein's mode of being is care, always already in-the-world, temporal, and toward-death. Being is disclosed through moods, especially anxiety which reveals the groundlessness of existence. Technology reduces all beings to standing-reserve (Bestand) available for manipulation.
