[Vwoolf] The Blitz Spirit - & Heidegger?

[Stuart N. Clarke]

“It seems that within negative freedom one may have a very limited existence. A caricature of negative freedom is provided by E. M. Forster’s story ‘The Machine Stops’ which depicts a world in which people are effectively sealed from contact with the world other than through telescreen. The ‘safety’ of life which is thus secured is exposed for its impoverishment.”

Paul Standish, “Wittgenstein, Heidegger and the Limits of Language” (1992), p. 198

I've been thinking a lot about Forster's 'The Machine Stops'. Can't think why.
