Günther Anders
Günther Anders (1902-1992) was a German philosopher and social critic, known for his critiques of technology and modernity. A prominent figure in existentialist thought, Anders explored the implications of technological advancement on human existence and morality. His concept of the 'obsolescence of man' reflects his concern that humanity was becoming increasingly subordinate to the machines it created. Anders' work urges deep reflection on the ethical dimensions of technological progress and its potential to dehumanize individuals in a rapidly changing world.
