The Will to Technology and the Culture of Nihilism

Meer over het boek

Exploring the interplay between technology and nihilism, Arthur Kroker delves into the thoughts of Heidegger, Marx, and Nietzsche to analyze contemporary culture's evolution. He argues that the 'will to technology' shapes societal dynamics, leading to a 'culture of boredom' where individuals become 'objectless objects.' Kroker critiques globalization through Marx's lens of streamed capitalism and Nietzsche's insights into emerging nihilism. This work merges critical theory with art and politics, offering a provocative perspective on our technological future and its philosophical implications.
