Abstract
An analysis on Martin Heidegger’s perspective on heretical notion of music technology vs. Andrew Feenberg’s instance of subversive rationalization. Heidegger believes that technology should be external to the artist’s work. He furthers this notion by stating that tEchne is crucial to understanding technology. The article that explains Heidegger's perspective is concluded with an explanation of free relations to technology. Scipio questions Heidegger’s arguments by proposing a few counter arguments to Heidegger. The article explains Feenberg’s notion of technological determinism and subversive rationalization. Scipio then compares and contrasts Feenberg and Heidegger and provides his perspective on technological determinism and subversive rationalization. The article concludes with a summary of the article followed by final thoughts from Scipio.
