Opis

The first to engage Marcuse as a philosopher of technology, this book contrasts his ideas with Heidegger, and relates their work to contemporary technology studies. Both the historical and theoretical aspects of the debate are explored.

Recenzje

'This is a book of many virtues. It undertakes the conversation that the later Heidegger was too haughty and the mature Marcuse too disappointed to initiate. In light of this conversation, both Heidegger and Marcuse scholars will be provoked to take a deeper and more fruitful approach to these two giants of twentieth century philosophy. More important still, the book's brilliant readings of Plato, Aristotle, Heidegger, and Marcuse give new resonance to Feenberg's own work and open up new avenues for his extraordinarily circumspect and incisive social philosophy.' - Albert Borgmann, University of Montana, USA 

'Feenberg's fine-grained and masterly intellectual historiography will be indispensible in further dicussions of Marcuse.' - Topia
