Heideggers Politics of Enframing

Heideggers Politics of Enframing examines the controversial political choices made by Heidegger, the one-time Nazi party member, and articulates a direct connection between his troubling political decisions and his late thoughts on technology. This book looks at the evolution of Heideggers understanding of human politics, viewed through the lens of his ontological articulations from the early 1930s to the end of his life, with a deep focus on the role that Nietzsche plays in Heideggers understanding of technology and the technological. The key question within Heideggers thoughts on technology is whether Heidegger is proposing a sense of responsibility, and therefore an ethics, in his notion of a technological saving power. Cardoza-Kon develops an understanding of what the political ramifications of this are, and what can we take from Heideggers thought today.
