Hans Blumenberg At 101

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.
