This book examines the work of Jünger and its effect on the development of Heidegger¿s philosophy of technology. It offers a unique treatment of Jünger¿s philosophy and his conception of the age of technology, in which both world and man appear in terms of their functionality and efficiency. It demonstrates Jünger¿s influence on Heidegger¿s conceptions of will, work and gestalt at the beginning of the 1930s. At the same time, Blok evaluates Heidegger¿s criticism of Jünger and provides a novel interpretation of the Jünger-Heidegger connection: that Jünger¿s work in fact testifies to a transformation of our relationship to language and conceptualizes the future in terms of the Anthropocene.
