Heidegger

Shouldn't Heidegger be mentioned in this article somewhere? Such as his famous essay The Question Concerning Technology? --18:09, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

The linked article mentions neither commodity or nature - although humans are part of nature. The Martin Heidegger article does state:

Heidegger's later work is especially notable for its important criticisms of technology's instrumentalist understanding in the Western tradition as "enframing," treating all of Nature as a "standing reserve" on call for human purposes.

So some of his work definitely looks at the commodification of nature. At any rate WP:BOLD and add a section. Jonpatterns (talk) 20:16, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I see you understand. I don't have time right now. But I wanted to alert people that Heidegger is very good on this subject and is probably one of the more important notable philosophers in talking about it in the 20th century. I think his view on it is a bit unique compared to a materialist like Marx. --David Tornheim (talk) 20:24, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
