| Introduction | Golfo Maggini (PhD, University of Paris, 1997) is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Ioannina, Greece. Since her undergraduate years at the University of Athens, Golfo has been concerned about the modern technology and the ontological, ethical, and political questions it poses to mankind. Her research takes contemporary phenomenology, especially the hermeneutic phenomenology of Martin Heidegger, as a starting point for examining the metaphysical, anthropological, cultural, and sociopolitical dimensions of those questions. Her most recent book focuses on the way Martin Heidegger’s multifaceted approach to the essence of modern technology can offer us useful insights into the world we live in. In her lengthy study Golfo sheds a new light on Heidegger’s “herme- neutics of the technological world” from his early hermeneutics of facticity to his critique of modern of subjectivity metaphysics and technological nihilism. Golfo’s research comprises also a vivid interest in practical philosophy, especially Jürgen Habermas’ elaboration of a discourse ethics, and in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, to whom she has devoted numerous articles. |
