Contributors to this special issue introduce one of Germany's most
eminent postwar philosophers to an English-speaking audience. As a
theorist of metaphor and language, myth and reception, modernity
and human world-relation, Hans Blumenberg offers scholars in
philosophy and literature a wide range of useful conceptual tools.
The authors show these tools in action, bringing Blumenberg to bear
on topics such as artificial intelligence, the Anthropocene,
modernism in the arts, political theory, and media studies.
History, Metaphors, and Fables collects the central writings by
Hans Blumenberg and covers topics such as on the philosophy of
language, metaphor theory, non-conceptuality, aesthetics, politics,
and literary studies. This landmark volume demonstrates
Blumenberg's intellectual breadth and gives an overview of his
thematic and stylistic range over four decades. Blumenberg's early
philosophy of technology becomes tangible, as does his critique of
linguistic perfectibility and conceptual thought, his theory of
history as successive concepts of reality", his anthropology, or
his studies of literature. History, Metaphors, Fables allows
readers to discover a master thinker whose role in the German
intellectual post-war scene can hardly be overestimated.
