Art as a Way Out Of Enframing

Enframing, as the mode of revealing in modern technology blocks Poiesis. Poïesis is etymologically derived from the ancient term ποιέω, which means "to make".

 It disrupts our way of making and appreciating a certain thing because it has an enframing factor in it. The way of revealing is no longer poetic; it is demanding. However, … Martin Heidegger, a German Philosopher o Upholds an alternative, and that is Art. o With Art, it brings us closer to Poiesis and further away from Techne Techne is an art, skill, or craft. A technique, principle, or method by which something is achieve or created.

According to Heidegger, the art of ancient Greek culture expressed humanity’s sense of connectedness with All Being. o It leads us away from calculative thinking and towards meditative thinking. o When meditatively looking at technology, it will question its significance more than its use. Aristotle conception of (4) four causes was mechanical as Heidegger explained.  The four causes are; causa materialis, causa formalis, causa finalis, and the causa effciens.  Heidegger claims that the Greek word translated as cause, aition, really means to be indebted. The four causes signify ways in which a thing is indebted for its existence.

ART AS A WAY OUT OF ENFRAMING Enframing, as the mode of revealing in modern technology blocks Poiesis.(powesis) > I think you're accustomed to what enframing is, but as a review. Enframing is like putting in a box or frame so it can be better understood. To perceive things as what we want them to be instead of what they actually are.

It is basically the mode of revealing in modern technology but blocks Poiesis. But, what is Poiesis? >Poiesis is etymologically derived from the ancient term Poyao which means to make or bringing something into existence. it disrupts our way of making and appreciating a certain thing because it has an enframing factor in it. The way of revealing is somewhat demanding, challenging because we didn't dig in to its depths. It made us not to make or create more from it because we were put in a frame where everything is calculated, controlled and orderable and it stopped us from imagining and actually seeing things the way they are and that is part of poiesis But however, Martin Heidegger (HAIDEGUR), a German Philosopher upholds an alternative or he proposes a way out of this enframing and that is ART. He believes that with Art, it brings us closer to Poiesis and further away from Techne. Heidegger imagines a classical Greece in which art was not a separate function within society, but unifying force that brought all aspects together, the art of ancient Greek culture expressed humanity’s sense of connectedness with All Being. It leads us away from calculative thinking and towards meditative thinking. o When meditatively looking at technology, it will question its significance more than its instrumental use. By questioning something, that will build a way to understand the depths of it. Calculative thinking in which we observe nature in technical and scientific manner is becoming more important in the modern world. Nonetheless, it is meditative thinking that provides a way for us to remain rooted in the essence of who we are. Aristotle conception of (4) four causes was mechanical as Heidegger explained. The four causes are; causa materialis, causa formalis, causa finalis (PINALIS), and the causa effciens. Heidegger’s example, a silver chalice (chalis), is indebted to the silver from which it is made, the idea of how the chalice should look when finished, the end which limits the possible meanings and uses of the chalice to a single way of being, and finally the craftsman who “considers carefully and gathers together the three aforementioned way of being responsible and indebted” (QCT, 8). The craftsman is not the cause of the chalice in our sense at all, but a co-responsible agent in bringing the chalice into appearance Heidegger claims that the Greek word translated as cause, aition, really means to be indebted. The four causes signify ways in which a thing is indebted for its existence....
