ABSTRACT
According to Dreyfus, Bourdieu's description corresponds to Heidegger's notion of Dasein's understanding of being which is contained in one's knowing-how-to-cope in various domains rather than in set of beliefs that such and such is the case. Neither a being-in-the-world that acknowledges the self-emergence of physis, nor one that dwells intimately with nature through sympathetic technê, the kind of fully technological everyday existence tacitly and explicitly assumed by contemporary Dasein is to be thought of here in terms of Technodasein. Technodasein is not a pure form of being-in-the-world, but is composed of different fragments embedded within the history of Western culture. As such, the essence of Technodasein denotes the rise to predominance of an essential posture towards the problem of existence and is thus a strategy of survival-concern. After the ideological battles of the past, one strategy has prevailed; the will to power through the power of technological enframing.
