Abstract
GAJARDO JANA, Paolo Humberto. Serenity before death in the middle of the technical era: a proposal from Heidegger’s philosophy. Tópicos [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.18-21. Epub Aug 01, 2022. ISSN 1666-485X. http://dx.doi.org/10.14409/topicos.v0i43.11890.
In Heidegger’s philosophy it’s found a diagnostic of our problematic time, he called it das Gestell, namely, the essence of the technical era. This essence is a dangerous destination of Being, because it involves forgetting our mortal condition. Against this problematic time, Heidegger has a proposal: serenity. Through this attitude is achieved to remember our forgotten mortality. This implies to recover our position in another destination of Being: das Geviert, namely, the fourfold. In this destination we need to let us be what we essentially are, and in this way dwell as mortals on earth.
Keywords : Death; serenity; technical; dwell; fourfold.
