- You can now enrol on my course on Being and Time!
Seminars start 22nd January 2023. Follow this link to enrol halkyonacademy.teachable.com/...
And please spread the word.
Thank you!
The course is an invitation to think after the most fundamental phenomena of being and human existence. This course is ideal for anyone who wants to understand Heidegger but also if you want to articulate an exit from modernity. Heidegger's thought of concealment, withdrawal, and another beginning is specifically intended for this.
The course is ideal for everyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of existentialism, phenomenology, the philosophy of technology, and modernity and its relationship with Antiquity.
The word "Gestell" is of particular meaning and speaks of the truth of being in our epoch. In this lecture I try to approximate the meaning of the word and show its origin in modern metaphysics - and also why being in our epoch is Gestell.
I’m an independent scholar and your contributions make this work possible. Huge thanks to all my supporters!

This is the only guy worth listening to on Heidegger trust me. I’ve explored the whole TH-cam Heidegger universe for you.
Thank you. This lecture is taken from my book on Heidegger.
Absolutely marvelous: I love the point that the more complex our machines become, the more they break down, and so the more we have to focus on them and thus engage in an “abstract” form of thinking. Given how many machines we are surrounded by, it’s only a matter of probability that we will spend most of our days trying to “fix something” in the world as opposed to let ourselves “take in” the world around us. Additionally, if we are haunted by a nagging sense constantly that we are not as efficient as we could be (efficiency seems to be a modern obsession, with little question on what we are efficient “for”), then we will constantly be looking for something to “fix” in our world, and thus never “be” in it. Great work as always.
I am a developing Heideggerian pedagogue here. The discussion of representation and Gestell was helpful…I had used “enframing” but this clarification is a gift. Well done.
The problem of 'mental' illness arises for me here. The positioning of depression, anxiety, ADHD etc within a brain of neurons and synapses has completely disconnected us from the phenomena of these experiences which are fundamentally within the world. People clearly suffer from abnormalities but in a world where we exhaust ourselves for the sake of exhaustion and where we attempt to cultivate 'homes' in the socialist, utilitarian monstrosities we find today, it's no surprise we find ourselves 'mentally' ill.
Another fantastic lecture Johannes that was incredibly well explicated and that walked us through ge-stell via vorstellen, herstellen, nachstellen and much more in detailed explanations and original thinking. Thank you !
preparing an architecture thesis with heidegger and specifically gestell as a central idea and your videos have been a pillar of my research
Thank you! Great to hear. You will find more on this also in my book on Heidegger published by Springer. You can quote from there or from my videos with references to them
this probably is a bit of course, but there seems to be a correspondence (albeit vague or twisted one possibly) between the realm of the state, via ideology, and how that shapes, delimits, and asserts our positioning in such a system and the world of possibilities ... and ... how technics imposes a gestell on humanity. in each, there is a form of instrumentality, a de-legitimizing of human value frequently, and an operationality ('standing reserve') of the person/individual.
When I heard about this for the first it was such a difficult term or concept to grasp. I still haven't wrapped my head around it completely - if one ever can or even should for the sake of mental stability (joking). What I am here to say is that it's absolutely striking. It says not only about our societies but mainly about each of us that we are being exploited and pre-ordered, hence not being free at all while the system is portraying us living in "freedom". Gestell holds sway upon us and we're no more than enslaved human beings.
Very nice explanation here.
I do think however that the best translation into english of Gestell as Gestellnis (Gestaltnis) would be,
one to one:
Ge-stell-nis
In-formation-ality
Indeed a very good suggestion, which I shall heed.
One thing I don't think I understand about Heidegger's view of technology is why -- or how -- technology is so different in the modern world. It would appear that examples of the use of pre-modern technologies would make just as good example of the standing reserve as a dam on a river. A granary is an example of an element of the natural world being stored as resource. In one way or another, humans have been saving food for winter for thousands of years. Is that not an example of gestell?
Wunderbar, danke für die Ausführungen. Wesen im Sinne von Staatswesen hatte ich bisher nicht bedacht.
Superb clarification
Thanks
This was really enlightening. Thanks for taking the time to present such a detailed and interesting explanation.
Thank you very much indeed!
Wonderful lecture! Thanks
Thank you
This was outstanding. Thank you for the clear exposition and frankly, passion you demonstrate for it. Very helpful.
Thank you very much indeed! I’m teaching a course on Heidegger beginning in July. Here’s a link to the syllabus www.halkyonguild.org/heidegger-on-death-and-being
@@JohannesNiederhauser Thank - you again, sir. I did get the update but am concerned it will be more load than I can afford time-wise. Nonetheless, please know I really appreciate your work and am trying to catch up with the manifold good things you have produced already. Thanks you again 🙏🏽
Excellent video! Extremely enlightening!
Thank you very much indeed! This is an excerpt from my book on Heidegger
@@JohannesNiederhauser thank you! Just added it to my wishlist!!!
@@MattStranberg that’s very kind of you. Thank you
Can you do a video about how the Gestell or die Technik im Denken relates to Lakoffs analysis of embodied metaphors? Maybe also a video on how our language changed when machines and the endeavour to quantify everything around us including time changed our perception of reality and maybe induced something like a Matrix. Dankeschön haha
hi, would you consider including subtitles in your video, auto-generated ones tend to mess up the wordings and terms
Will you offer to pay for that? Thanks!
Will modernity be over after this one?
M. Heidegger und M. Castells gehen dann irgendwo doch Hand in Hand...
