From Heideggerian Industrial Gigantism to Nanoscale Technologies

As a regular reader of Science, Scientific American, Nature and The Eonomist, I could not miss how so many articles in these science-technology journals refer to micro-processing, which today dominates so much science-praxis. I have become aware that how science happens, changes primarily with a wide context of instrument changes. That is what this paper is about. Heidegger's technologies were largely Industrial-Big, Machinic, and Mechanical. Science, today often a leader, is now operating by using micro-nano processes and has often shifted to biological and medical sciences, marking a change in how science operates. This has significant consequences for how we should think about the "transcendental" and the "empirical" in philosophy of technology.
