"Every substantive problem of philosophy remains necessarily untimely. And this is not because philosophy is much ahead of its present, or because it connects the present with what it was before, with what it was from the beginning. Philosophy always remains a knowledge that not only cannot become timely, but, on the contrary, imposes its measure on its own time" (M. Heidegger). Although fundamentally "untimely," modern philosophy offers us an original and penetrating insight into the technological world that surrounds us and to which we belong. Specifically, one of the most significant contributions of modern phenomenology to the development of critical reflection on modernity has undoubtedly been the thematization of the relationship between science and the biosphere.

In Martin Heidegger's interpretive phenomenology, the position of technology in the modern world and its relationship to its metaphysical origins is a constant inquiry from the early phase of his interpretive hermeneutics and his "Being and Time" (1927) to his late work. This study explores the successive phases of this continuous and intense inquiry into modern technology, while also attempting to shed light on the "history of influences" of Heidegger's interpretive approach to the technological world, both in the field of modern philosophy and in the social sciences. From the technology of machines to the new information technologies and the emergence of potential reality, and from the experimental science of the new times to the technoscience of our days, Heidegger's phenomenology has offered and continues to offer fruitful insights concerning our relationship with technological becoming.
