This is Heidegger's crowning work in which he applies his metaphysics to modern day technology. Replacing his earlier description of the ready to hand, Heidegger uses Aristotle's notion of causation, which for Heidegger is a type of bringing into being, i.e. articulating in the material world something as present in and of itself both together and different. In doing so, Heidegger rethinks technology and (in my mind) and creates the philosophic foundation of Thomas Kuhn's work the Structure of Scientific Thought..
This is possibly the worst listed text I've ever seen. I can't find the translator's name anywhere, nor the names of any of the 'other essays.'
Pretty difficult original source.
