You’re touching on stuff that, I think in particular for rationalist readers, Heidegger gets at really well. The relevant ideas to what you’re exploring are caring (Sorge) and the contrast between present-at-hand and ready-to-hand.
Only that reading Heidegger directly is probably not a good use of your time. Better to read commentaries and summaries because they are much more understandable (he wrote in an intentionally obscure way). SEP offers a good entry point.
