Abstract

This article focuses on some of the implications of Heidegger’s pragmatism for information technology analysis and critique. I survey Heidegger’s transformation of Enlightenment notions such as identity, proximity, community, disembodiment, pattern, representation and utopia to the phenomenological concepts of Dasein, care, being‐with, corporality, praxis, disclosure and the not‐yet. Each of these concepts return us to the issue of practice.
