Günther Anders’ Philosophy of Technology
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-22858-0 (ISBN)
Babette Babich argues that Anders offers important resources on streaming digital media through his writings on radio, television and film and is, unusually, both a comprehensive and profound thinker. Anders' relationship with key philosophers like Hannah Arendt and Walter Benjamin and his thinking on Goethe, Nietzsche and Rilke is also explored with a focus on the deep impact he made on his peers. It reflects specifically on the intersection of Anders’ thought Heidegger and the Frankfurt school and how influential a figure he was on the landscape of 20th century philosophy. A compelling rehabilitation of a thinker with profound contemporary relevance.
Babette Babich is Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University, USA. She is author of Nietzsche's Philosophy of Science (1994) The Hallelujah Effect (2016)
