商品描述
Political texts by one of the twentieth century's preeminent thinkers on war crimes, technolgy, and fascism Günther Anders--poet, philosopher, agitator, anti-fascist--was one of the most prolific writers on the disaster called the twentieth century, writing more than thirty books on technology, art, literature, philosophy, and politics. More a heretic than a hero, Anders placed Hiroshima and Auschwitz together in a single paradigm of catastrophe, warning that humanity, with the advent of the atom bomb, had entered a new epoch of history: It now possessed the technical capacity to destroy its own conditions of existence. Despite being close to some of the most important names in twentieth-century German philosophy and literature, his expansive body of work has only recently begun to be discovered by Anglophone readers. Now, for the first time in English, this volume brings together a selection of his texts written between 1933 and 1991: warnings, fables, reflections on violence, war crimes, education and resistance, interviews, speeches. To understand our burning world and apocalyptic present, Günther Anders's work is indispensable.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
20 世紀研究戰爭罪行、科技與法西斯主義最傑出的思想家之一所撰寫的政治文本
Günther Anders——詩人、哲學家、鼓動者、反法西斯主義者——是最 prolific 地書寫這場名為 20 世紀之災難的作家之一，著有超過三十本探討科技、藝術、文學、哲學與政治的書籍。Anders 與其說是英雄，不如說是異端；他將 Hiroshima 與 Auschwitz 放在同一個災難範式之中，並警告人類：隨著原子彈的問世，我們已進入歷史的新時代——人類如今具備摧毀自身生存條件的技術能力。
儘管 Anders 曾與 20 世紀德國哲學與文學界一些最重要的人物關係密切，但直到最近，他廣博的著作才開始受到英語讀者的關注。本書首次以英文集結他在 1933 年至 1991 年間創作的多篇作品，包括警告、寓言、對暴力與戰爭罪行的反思、關於教育與抵抗的論述、訪談及演講。
若要理解我們這個燃燒中的世界，以及當下這個末日般的時代，Günther Anders 的作品不可或缺。
