This doctoral dissertation in philosophy at Northwestern University
considers the two most important philosophers of the modern age. I
conducted my research during three years in Germany: at Heidelberg,
where Heidegger's work was continued, and at Frankfurt, where
critical theory extended Marx' thinking. In recent years, I have
applied conceptual and methodological perspectives from Marx and
Heidegger to the theory of CSCL. In particular, Marx countered the
ideology of individualism by analyzing social structures and
interpersonal interactions at different units of analysis than the
individual person. Heidegger also questioned the traditional
ontology of natural objects with innate attributes by proposing
dynamic interactive processes of beings in their ecological
context. Today, the philosophies of Marx and Heidegger are still
extremely relevant-provided one adapts them to the current
socio-historical context and adjusts each to the implicit
criticisms of the other.
