Heidegger on the thesis that language is information
Now, one could believe the technoligical interpretation of language as a means for communicating and notfying to be self-evident insofar as technology is iteself understood as a means and everything is concieved only according to this respect. However, considering what we have already discussed regarding what is peculiar to technology and language, this explanation remains at the surface. Instead of this we must ask how far does what is peculiar to modern technology, which challenges humans forth, i.e. sets them up, into making natural energy available and securing it, come into effect also and precisely in the transformation of language into mere information? In how far does there lie in the essence of language itself the vulnerability and the possibility for its transformation into techonological language, i.e., into information?
