Phänomenologie und Anthropologie
Die Wirklichkeit der Sprache und die Phänomenologie
Description of the Human
This extract is the first English translation of Hans Blumenberg's posthumous publication Beschreibung des Menschen, which was published by Suhrkamp Verlag in 2006. Based on lectures concerning the German tradition of philosophical anthropology that Blumenberg gave at the University of Münster, the book's basic project is the explicit fusion of Husserlian phenomenology with philosophical anthropology - an attempt to grasp what the human is by ide…

Der philosophische Dialog als literarische Form
In Memory of Ernst Cassirer
On the occasion of receiving a prize first awarded to Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945), Hans Blumenberg assesses Cassirer's legacy and influence. Blumenberg underlines Cassirer's contribution to epistemology in the neo-Kantian tradition as well as his pioneering work in the history of ideas before discussing how his celebrated Philosophy of Symbolic Forms led Cassirer to reappraise the problem of history more generally. Blumenberg reads Cassirer as hav…
St. Matthew Passion
This book is the author's sustained and devastating meditation on Jesus's anguished cry on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Why did this abandonment happen, what does it mean within the logic of the Gospels, how have believers and nonbelievers understood it, and how does it live on in art? The book unfolds context upon context in which this cry has reverberated, from early Christian apologetics and heretics to twentieth-cent…

St. Matthew Passion is Hans Blumenberg's sustained and devastating meditation on Jesus's anguished cry on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Why did this abandonment happen, what does it mean within the logic of the Gospels, how have believers and non-believers understood it, and how does it live on in art? With rare philological acuity and vast historical learning, Blumenberg unfolds context upon context in which this cry has…

This essay by the influential post-war German cultural theorist Hans Blumenberg was published originally in German in 1976 in a collection of studies on Simmel's aesthetics. Renowned as the author of The Legitimacy of the Modern Age (1966), Work on Myth (1979), Paradigms for a Metaphorology (1960) and other major writings, the essay showcases Blumenberg's unique approach to metaphorical figuration in the languages of philosophy and philosophers. …
Paradigms for a Metaphorology

Paradigmi per una metaforologia
In Paradigmi per una metaforologia, una tra le sue opere più significative, il grande filosofo tedesco Hans Blumenberg affronta la storia di alcune metafore fondamentali che hanno caratterizzato il pensiero occidentale. Tali metafore (la "nuda" verità, il mondo come "terra incognita") sono "assolute", in quanto originarie, radicate nel mondo della vita e irriducibili a un contenuto concettuale, e rispecchiano l'atteggiamento di fronte alla totali…
Geistesgeschichte der Technik
Accompanying CD contains a radio program originally broadcast on Hessischen Rundfunk on Dec. 12, 1967, entitled: Die Maschinen und der Fortschritt : Gedanken zu enier Geistesgeschichte der Technik
Histoire et eschatologie
Pour Blumenberg, la plupart des théories de la sécularisation payent un tribut involontaire à Feuerbach, la modernité s’approprie des idées et des valeurs originairement chrétiennes. Lui-même prône une conception dans laquelle la modernité doit trouver de nouvelles réponses à des interrogations initiées par le christianisme

The Legitimacy of the Modern Age
In this major work, Blumenberg takes issue with Karl Lowith's well-known thesis that the idea of progress is a secularized version of Christian eschatology, which promises a dramatic intervention that will consummate the history of the world from outside. Instead, Blumenberg argues, the idea of progress always implies a process at work within history, operating through an internal logic that ultimately expresses human choices and is legitimized b…
Work on Myth
In this rich examination of how we inherit and transform myths, Hans Blumenberg continues his study of the philosophical roots of the modern world. Work on Myth is in five parts. The first two analyze the characteristics of myth and the stages in the West's work on myth, including long discussions of such authors as Freud, Joyce, Cassirer, and ValA(c)ry. The latter three parts present a comprehensive account of the history of the Prometheus myth,…

The legitimacy of the modern age
To Bring Myth to an End
In his discussion of myth Fontenelle expressed the Enlightenment's amazement at the fact that the myths of the Greeks had still not disappeared from the world. Religion and reason had, it is true, weaned people from them, but poetry and painting had given them the means by which to survive. They had been able to make themselves indispensable to these arts.' This statement is meant as a contribution to the history of human errors. Part of the prog…

The genesis of the Copernican world
This major work by the German philosopher Hans Blumenberg is a monumental rethinking of the significance of the Copernican revolution for our understanding of modernity. It provides an important corrective to the view of science as an autonomous enterprise and presents a new account of the history of interpretations of the significance of the heavens for man

Shipwreck with Spectator
Shipwreck with Spectator traces the evolution of the complex of metaphors related to the sea, to shipwreck, and to the role of the spectator in human culture from ancient Greece to modern times. This elegant essay exemplifies Blumenberg's ideas about the ability of the historical study of metaphor to illuminate essential aspects of being human. Originally published in the same year as his monumental Work on Myth, Shipwreck with Spectator traces t…
