Abstract

Abstract

Technology is often wrongly identified as the main cause of the current environmental crisis and the loss of biodiversity. Thinkers like Heidegger presented technology as an objectifying force that reduces nature to a mere exploitable resource stock. As a remedy, the hermeneutic method of understanding was promoted over and against technology. In contrast, this article argues in favour of techno-hermeneutics. Technically mediated listening methods take us into a multiverse of life expressions. In evolutionary perspective technology is part and parcel of the biocognitive spectrum. It is high time to curb old-fashioned control techniques with techno-hermeneutics.
