Abstract

The technological production seems to be the most essential feature of the present. In contrast to the traditional obligation of human force of production to idea that ensured to conclude the making of a product and to open up the dimension of reality and possibility, the modern production is uncontrolled. It is obliged only to itself. This obligation to itself reveals the infinite but only iterative nature of the modern technical force. In this indifferent and self-sufficient identity we recognize an oppressive part of the Promethean character of modern technology, i.e. the dimension of the titanic. In examination of the metaphysical pattern of hyle and morphe and in dialogue with Eugen Fink, the article discusses the ontological and existential condition of such an ‚uncontrolled’ productivity
