{"title":"The Parochialism of Intellectual History: The Case of Günther Anders","authors":"Adi Armon","doi":"10.1093/LEOBAECK/YBW022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/LEOBAECK/YBW022","url":null,"abstract":"The name of Gu« nther Anders, who was one of the first philosophers to try to contend with the meaning of Being, ethics, and philosophy in the atomic age, was absent from Anglo-Saxon discourse during his own lifetime and has continued to be so since his death in1992. He frequently wrote about the Holocaust and Hiroshima, about evil, the Vietnam War, Heidegger and the effects of technology, and its inherent destructive potential. However, the bulk of his writings has not yet been translated into English, and the studies that focus on him in the United States pale by comparisonwith those on other thinkers of his time. The reason he was marginalized is not only a matter of style or circumstances but also of language, location, and historical contextçit is embedded in the text and content of his writings, which placed Auschwitz alongside Hiroshima and located signs of totalitarianism in theWest as well. The purpose of this study is twofold: to locate Anders alongside other German-Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century and to provide an answer to the question of why historians, philosophers, and many scholars in the humanities and the social sciences in the United States have ignored his existence for so long. Gu« nther [Anders] is blissfully £oating in nuclear death. ^Hannah Arendt In his 2007 bookBeyond theBorder:TheGerman-JewishLegacyAbroad, Steven Aschheim deals with the question ‘Why Do We Love (Hate) Theodor Adorno, Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig, Gershom Scholem, and Leo Strauss?’He shows how these thinkers have become icons of Western civilization in recent years, in particular in the Anglo-Saxon world, and in his attempt to ¢nd a common denominator asks: ‘Why, for instance, do Scholem and Rosenzweig Hannah Arendt,Within FourWalls:The Correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blu« cher, 1936^ 1968, ed. by Lotte Kohler, transl. by Peter Constantine, NewYork 2000, p. 326.

Why are Arendt and Strauss so much more ‘‘audible’’ than, say, Ernst Cassirer? Why, for that matter, do we hear far more today of Adorno and Benjamin than Ernst Bloch and even Herbert Marcuse?’ This question is not an exercise in name-dropping but a challenge to the work of historians, philosophers, and other researchers regarding their self-consciousness and decisions. Thus, the discussion of the selection of study subjects, the possible arbitrariness of such selection, and cultural trends make the almost complete absence of Gu« nther Anders from scholarly research in gen","PeriodicalId":414911,"journal":{"name":"The Leo Baeck Institute Yearbook","volume":"13 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121008417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
