Heidegger used technology as the object of philosophical thinking and created "Cultural Technology Hermeneutics." Explain technology from the perspective of "this is, "and the understanding of technology is a process from implicitness and manifestation. This understanding is not theoretical but a way of "this is" in the world. Explain technology from the perspective of the nature of technology. Technical explanation is a revelation of the nature of technology. Technology should be a way of "unblocking," and this "unblocking" can only be achieved in the relationship between technology and other "existents." Through an ontological perspective, the interpretation paradigm of technology breaks the traditional scientific research paradigm, cleverly avoids the Hume problem of technical explanation, and has the transcendent significance of criticizing the tradition. Studying the idea of "Cultural Technology Hermeneutics" not only opens up new ideas for understanding Heidegger's technical ideas but also helps to understand modern science and technology from an essential level. This study is motivated to reexamine Heidegger's "Onterological Hermeneutics". Explore how it breaks the traditional scientific paradigm's understanding of technology and reveals the deep meaning of the essence of technology. Against the backdrop of the rapid development of modern technology, Heidegger's thoughts provide a new perspective. This helps us understand the close connection between technology and human existence and provides philosophical reflection on the challenges posed by today’s technology. The contribution of this study is that it not only reconstructs the explanatory framework of technology based on Heidegger's ontology. Through an in-depth analysis of "unblocking," we explore how technology provides a new way of survival for human existence. Through the discussion of this thinking path. This article not only adds a new perspective of thinking to the field of technological philosophy but also provides philosophical inspiration for solving ethical and existing problems in contemporary technological society.
