A comprehensive and scholarly exploration of the personal and philosophical origins of Andre Gorz’s work, this book includes a unique analysis of his early untranslated texts, as well as critical discussion of his relationship to the work of Husserl, Sartre, Merleau Ponty, Marx and Habermas. Reassessing pivotal notions such as the lifeworld and the subject , it argues that Gorz has pioneered a person-centred social theory, in which the motive and meaning of social critique is firmly rooted in people’s lived experience.
