Unsourced WP:OR essay on what appears to be a fringe topic in philosophy, and/or a WP:DICDEF. It does not help that the article is incomprehensible to the layman, and that the author isn't sure whether it's "Gestell" or "Gestall".  Sandstein  16:50, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I agree that the article needs some work to bring it up to standard, but this is an important topic in the philosophy of technology. (Try an Internet search for "Gestell philosophy technology" if you want to see a large selection of articles on this concept.) The German article on Heiddegger has a substantial and apparently well-sourced section on Technology-as-Gestell [1]. Perhaps some of this material could be translated? --RichardVeryard (talk) 22:26, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
