Klappentext The Worker is the first and long overdue translation of the German intellectual Ernst Jünger's 1932 Der Arbeiter . In it, Jünger explores issues of labor and politics, with special emphasis on technology. A study made ever more relevant by politics in the twenty-first century, The Worker is an important work of philosophy and political economy. Zusammenfassung Written in 1932, just before the fall of the Weimar Republic and on the eve of the Nazi accession to power, Ernst Jünger's The Worker: Dominion and Form articulates a trenchant critique of bourgeois liberalism and seeks to identify the form characteristic of the modern age. Jünger's analyses are inspired by a profound intuition of the movement of history.
