Gorz, André

b. 1924, Vienna, Austria

Political philosopher, real name Gérard Horst

Gorz left his homeland when it was annexed by Hitler in 1938 and it was in 1946, during his exile in Switzerland, that Gorz met Jean-Paul Sartre, thus beginning a long association with Les Temps modernes. Gorz’s books are concerned mainly with the nature of work in post-industrial societies: he examines the emergence of and tendency towards societies having to contend with mass unemployment in economies experiencing jobless growth. His analysis extends also to changing class structures in such societies, and discusses how work should be more equitably distributed. Gorz’s name has in more recent years become associated with the ecology movement.
