Description
Summary:The awareness that human being is just a puppet of the Spirit of the times, led Ernst Jünger to the creation of a number of reflections around image. Along these reflections, Jünger sought to offer a penetrating insight into the role of mankind in the history. Under Jünger, only as a creator subject human being can escape the historical tragic spirit. To this end, the author will write a series of texts with the desire to capture man as an actor of the history –not as a creator of this latter. Thus, contrary to its natural trend, technique is able to lead the human being towards freedom.<br /> This paper will study the double face of technical development using the thoughts of Ernst Jünger –action and thought man at the same time– as a guide.
