The Worker: Dominion and Form

"This excellent translation of Ernst Jünger’s most important book is a signal event for scholars of twentieth century European literature, culture, politics, and philosophy. In particular, Jünger’s interpretation of the Gestalt of the worker helped to shape Martin Heidegger’s influential view of modern technology.” --Michael E. Zimmerman, author of Heidegger's Confrontation with Modernity 

Not merely of historical interest, The Worker carries a vital message for contemporary debates about world economy, political stability, and equality in our own age, one marked by unsettling parallels to the 1930s.. Jünger’s analyses, written in critical dialogue with Marx, are inspired by a profound intuition of the movement of history and an insightful interpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophy. Martin Heidegger considered Jünger “the only genuine follower of Nietzsche,” singularly providing “an interpretation which took shape in the domain of that metaphysics which already determines our epoch, even against our knowledge; this metaphysics is Nietzsche's doctrine of the ‘will to power.’” In The Worker,<
