It explores how the ancient Greeks＇"τεχνη" asbeen divided into homologous but opposite "Technology" and "Art" in the technicalAge, and according to the homology, the paper reveals the essence of Technologyand Art. From the analysis of "τεχνη" and the essence of "Technology" and "Art" toelucidation of the essence of "Poetic inhabitancy"(Poetry), the paper grasps theessence of technical Age (modernity) to show off the"Enframing"(Ge-stell) of themodern society by Technology and The bad situation of the Art (Poetry) in thetechnical Age, to clarify the truth of technical Age is just the "Age of mid-night",and to point out the profound necessity and significance of "Inhabitancy" to thetechnical Age.Firstly, the paper analyzes that the ancient Greeks＇"τεχνη" which givesexpression to initial "disclosing" and "exposing" is simplified into Roman＇s"Truth" which highlighted "effect" by the narrow translation, and then explains theunderlying causes that how the "Truth" is understood as the gradual process of"External correctness". Lastly, the paper expatiates on Technical Age＇s basalcharacteristics and inevitability by the view of completion of metaphysics.Secondly, the paper depends on Heidegger’s basal philosophical viewpoints onprofound crisis of technical Age and the homology of technology and art to reveal the essence of technology and art respectively.
