Gunther Anders' Philosophy of Technology is the first comprehensive
exploration of the ground-breaking work of German thinker Gunther
Anders. Anders' philosophy has become increasingly prescient in our
digitised, technological age as his work predicts the prevalence of
social media, ubiquitous surveillance and the turn to big data.
Anders' ouevre also explored the technologies of nuclear power and
the biotech concerns for the human and transhuman condition which
have become so central to current theory. 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.
