Passion, Activity, and “The Care of the Self”
Hastings Center Report 30 (2):31-34 (2000)
Abstract
To ask whether we should use Prozac or other technologies as “enhancement” is perhaps to ask the wrong question, one that belongs to a life of what Heidegger discerned as technological ordering (die Technik). We might better ask a question belonging to a life of receptivity (Gelassenheit): Can or should we—some of us—live differently than we do?Other Versions
