Quotes
- “Die Macht einer Weltanschauung bewährt sich ja nicht durch die Antworten, die sie zu geben weiß, sondern durch die Fragen, die sie abzudrosseln versteht.”
- “Human beings are ashamed to have been born rather than made. They are ashamed of the fact that, unlike flawless and wholly calculated products, they owe their existence to the blind, incalculable and decidedly archaic process of procreation and birth.”
- “Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen (1956)”

Encyclopedic overview
Günther Anders ( German: [ˈɡʏntɐ ˈandɐs]; born Günther Siegmund Stern, 12 July 1902 – 17 December 1992) was a German-born philosopher, journalist and critical theorist.
Trained as a philosopher in the phenomenological tradition, he obtained his doctorate under Edmund Husserl in 1923 and worked then as a journalist at the Berliner Börsen-Courier. At that time, he changed his name from Stern to Anders. He unsuccessfully tried to get a university tenure in the early 1930s and ultimately fled Nazism to the United States. Back in Europe in the 1950s, he published his major book, The Obsolescence of Man, in 1956.
