This book examines the work of Ernst Jnger and its effect on the development of Martin Heideggers influential philosophy of technology. Vincent Blok offers a unique treatment of Jngers philosophy and his conception of the age of technology, in which both world and man appear in terms of their functionality and efficiency. The primary objective of Jngers novels and essays is to make the transition from the totally mobilized world of the 20th century toward a world in which a new type of man represents the gestalt of the worker and is responsive to this new age. Blok proceeds to demonstrate Jngers influence on Heideggers analysis of the technological age in his later work, as well as Heideggers conceptions of will, work and gestalt at the beginning of the 1930s. At the same time, Blok evaluates Heideggers criticism of Jnger and provides a novel interpretation of the JngerHeidegger connection: that Jngers work in fact testifies to a transformation of our relationship to language and conceptualizes the future in terms of the Anthropocene. This book, which arrives alongside several new Englishlanguage translations of Jngers work, will interest scholars of 20thcentury continental philosophy, Heidegger, and the history of philosophy of technology.
