Encyclopedia > Gestell

Gestell is a German word used by Twentieth century German philosopher Martin Heidegger to describe a mode of enframing. This concept was applied to Heidegger's exposition of the essence of technology. The conclusion regarding the essence of technology was that technology is fundamentally enframing. As such, the essence of technology is Gestell. Indeed, "Gestell, literally 'framing', is an all-encompassing view of technology, not as a means to an end, but rather a mode of human existence."

Law firm told to pay $7.2m for negligence - The Boston Globe (589 words)
Suffolk Superior Court Judge Allan van Gestel ruled that Rubin and Rudman was aware of a federal kickback investigation of West Lynn Creamery in June 1998 when it issued an opinion letter to Dean Foods indicating that it had no knowledge of any suit or investigation involving the Massachusetts dairy.
In addition to the $7.2 million judgment, van Gestel said Rubin and Rudman also would be responsible for Dean Foods' attorneys fees and costs in resolving the criminal charges against West Lynn Creamery.
Van Gestel ruled against Rubin and Rudman and not the individual attorneys at the firm who played prominent roles in the preparation of the opinion letter.
