E05 Arendt & Anders

In our search for human conditions, we continue our zig-zag journey through philosophical history.

After Heidegger's contemplations on being, Hannah Arendt turned away from endless reflections on ontology in response to the rise of tyranny. For Arendt, to be human is to begin anew, to start something fresh.

It’s still another story with Anders. He observes that the human condition seems to involve that we increasingly start to think of ourselves as defective pieces of equipment. And offers a critical theory of technology.

Allons-y!
