description This paper delves into Heidegger's views on humanism and technique. We emphasize his critics to the idea of humanism proposed by the traditional metaphysics that he considers the most prominent expression of Modernity's subject. Heidegger remarks how this idea can be found in Nietzsche's philosophy, mainly in his interpretation of the Power of Will and the Übermensch as the fulfillment, and last stage, of Metaphysics. In this metaphysical Gestell (stage), the human desire to dispose and dominate nature in all its forms expresses the destination of the Being. In the Digital Age, this desire manifests itself in movements like the dataism and Transhumanism, fulfilling the interpretation advanced by the Heidegger more than fifty years ago. The technical-scientific rationality becomes then the enforcement of Metaphysics towards its End.

En el presente trabajo nos proponemos analizar el problema del humanismo y la técnica en la filosofía de Heidegger, destacando su posición crítica frente a la idea de humanismo surgido en el marco de la tradición metafísica, pues sería la manifestación más visible de la subjetividad moderna. Esto se plasmaría, según Heidegger, en la filosofía de Nietzsche, especialmente en su interpretación de la voluntad de poder y en la figura del superhombre, como consumación y fase última de la metafísica. Donde la voluntad de dominar y disponer del hombre y de la naturaleza en todas sus formas expresa la destinación del ser como Gestell (lo dispuesto), que en la era digital se manifiesta en fenómenos tales como dataísmo y transhumanismo, cumpliendo así la interpretación que Heidegger adelantaba hace más de cincuenta años, donde la racionalidad técnico científica, a través del pensar calculante, se manifiesta como consumación de la metafísica Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2020-07-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11242 10.19053/01235095.v6.n26.2020.11242 Cuestiones de Filosofía; Vol. 6 No. 26 (2020): Cuestiones de Filosofía; 75-97 Cuestiones de Filosofía; Vol. 6 Núm. 26 (2020): Cuestiones de Filosofía; 75-97 2389-9441 0123-5095 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11242/9609 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11242/13329 Derechos de autor 2020 Dune Valle Jiménez http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
