Like no other philosopher, Günther Anders (1902–1992) created various types of texts to make his examination of 20th-century topics accessible to a wider reader ship beyond academic circles. These topics included the unfathomable experience of the Holocaust, the threat to humanity posed by nuclear weapons and nuclear energy, and the dangers emerging from the unregulated advancement of technology. Anders used his writings to counter a philosophical language that was too exclusive and esoteric in quality and that, he maintained, characterized the works of Heidegger. This collection, published on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the catastrophe at Hiroshima, contains essays dealing with some of Anders’ works, including “A Cosmological Humoresque” and The Writing on the Wall: Diaries 1941–1947. It also contains two previously unpublished letters written by Anders as an activist in the anti-nuclear movement.
