Introduction
"Heidegger reads the history of metaphysics as a series of epochs linked together by a narrative of the rise of willful subjectivity, a story that culminates in the technological "will to will." It is thought to be this will to will that drives today's globalizing "world civilization," displacing the various peoples of the earth from their traditional contexts of dwelling and replacing them in a Euro-Americanocentric system of economic and technological manipulation." xxiv
"The Brockhaus encyclopedia currently defines Gelassenheit as "the comportment, attained by way of letting go of one's own wishes and cares, the comportment of a calm mental preparedness to willingly accept fateful dispensations of every kind" xxvi
