Abstract

There are two phrases that I would like to comment: “There is no nature”, from Jean-Luc Nancy, and “the being is the Capital”, from Frédéric Neyrat. The intersection between both of these concepts passes through Heidegger and his idea of Gestell. It is not an objective of this text to talk “about nature”, as the first Greeks did, neither to carry out a history of the concept; rather, what we will try to do is to draw a line between nature and technique using the concepts of Gestell, Ecotecnia and consummation, from Heidegger, Nancy and Neyrat, respectively. This “between” (in Heideggerian style) will indicate an epochal figure: one of the lines of our globalized world marks this fusion of nature and artifice.
