Generation after generation, man imagines \u003ci\u003ehis\u003c\/i\u003e noon and midnight are the first - but will is the same at every noon and midnight. Will is not the \u003ci\u003edeus ex machina\u003c\/i\u003e - it \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e the Machine, and man is the means for its realization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiberal\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003econservative\u003c\/i\u003e are synonymous in essence and euphemism in practice. Both are drawn to modernity's twin pillars: money and surveillance. Each of the pillars reinforces the other, and both are evidence of will's ultimate motive to steer its subordinate manifestations. Man is not meant to last - his existence ensures this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeidegger saw through man's fundamental falsity; for this, his purpose has been either contorted or commandeered. Purpose is impediment to will; this is why man persistently gropes his way through what passes for life. Part of man's duplicity is convincing himself that misapprehension of purpose is the greatest purpose. Heidegger's ability to cut through misapprehension to motive was misperceived because it required an extraction from common ways of existing. Mere \u003ci\u003eexisting\u003c\/i\u003e is \u003ci\u003ethoughtlessness\u003c\/i\u003e; Heidegger saw the necessity of thought. Thought provides genuine purpose, which thwarts the will. And thwarting the will is the surest sign of possessing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 298\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45852616130757,"sku":"9781917646413","price":33.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/9QlKlBOz0A9781917646413.webp?v=1771454807","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-new-colossus-heidegger-and-the-will-to-machine-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
