Abstract

The article intends to signalize the debts of the Heideggerian meditation on technique from the ideas of three thinkers: Simmel, Spengler and Ernst Jünger. After sketches up the context in which they arisen, the article focuses in their main thesis to confront them with the way they are appropriate by Heidegger. The article concludes stressing the transcendent character of the points in it analyzed to the enlightenment of the question of technique according to Heidegger.
