This article interprets the Heidegger of Being and Time as a culturalist. That means the world explored in that text consists of human language, cultural and human existence. Non-human entities, such as ecological beings, are considered as equipment, or use objects for human beings in their practices.

I concur with this interpretation. There is no ecological awareness in Being and Time. You would never know from reading this text that the human world depended upon the ecological processes for its being.

It is this culturalism that is put into question in the late essay, A Question Concerning Technology, which is a critique of modernity from the perspective of the domination of nature. This--ie economics---enframes objects and human beings as standing reserve, resources, or raw material. In that text it is poesis which counters the technological mode of being by bring forth things and allowing them them to be. Poesis is not simple a turn to poetics or to th aesthetic as with Adorno. It also refers to praxis, and to a way of life based on knowing how to dwell.

Dwelling is to create and care for a place of habitation that would allow the river to flow.
