The Atrocity the West Inherited

What did we carry forward from the horrors of the 20th century? Mary Harrington joins James Orr to reveal how modernity absorbed the Nazi logic of industrialised humanity. From Ockham’s denial of essences to Heidegger’s warning about technology, they argue that we didn’t defeat the dehumanising machine — we made it more efficient.
