Heidegger’s phenomenology reflects the commodity-structure of modern society

Evidence

That Sartre should have come to his reformulation not through any initial stimulus from Marx but rather through Heidegger; that it should have been his own poetic sensitivity for the double valences of objects and of feelings about objects that provided him with the intellectual instruments with which to perform such a translation—such an eventuality is not at all surprising, particularly when we consider that Heidegger’s perception itself corresponds to the commodity-structure of modern society and is a direct reflection of it. — Fredric Jameson, Marxism and Form, 582

Categorization

• XREF: The claim that Heidegger’s perception ‘corresponds to the commodity-structure’ is Lukácsian reification theory extended into phenomenology — a key Jameson dialectical move worth tracing to History and Class Consciousness. — connects to: For Marx the commodity structures people’s actions, worldviews, and dispositions — Nick Couldry & Ulises A. Mejias, The Costs of Connection: How Data Is…, 782; Heidegger’s anti-modernism masked complicity with capitalist acceleration — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School: Its History,…, 2504; Capitalism and materialism shape a society’s entire worldview and value system (+1 more)
• DEEPTHINKING: The idea that even Heidegger’s anti-Marxist philosophy is a direct reflection of commodity structure — a bold totalizing claim that lets Jameson fold continental philosophy into the base/superstructure model without vulgar economism.
