Description: "One of the most inspiring social thinkers in France today, Andre Gorz is known throughout Western Europe as a leading critic of work-based society and a radical exponent of the 'politics of time.'" "This book argues that the neglect of Gorz's work is a costly oversight. Concentrating initially on early and largely untranslated philosophical texts, it highlights his interest in, and contribution to, the Continental tradition of existential phenomenology."--BOOK JACKET.
