Abstract

El mundo occidental vive, desde mediados de siglo XX, inmerso en una peculiar conciencia apocalíptica. El presente estudio acude a la obra de uno de esos “profetas” de la era atómica, el filósofo y activista Günther Anders. En torno a su obra, ahondaremos en las relaciones entre la técnica moderna, el apocalipsis y la experiencia del tiempo histórico. Se considerará la cuestión de la técnica moderna como elelemento fundamental de buena parte del pensamiento apocalíptico contemporáneo. La bomba atómica nos servirá como elemento clave de reflexión para entender la experiencia que, desde 1945, tiene la sociedad occidental de su horizonte histórico, de la constitución ontológica del “hombre” y del sentido mismo de la temporalidad.
Since the mid-twentieth century, the Western world appears to be imbued with what has been called an ‘apocalyptic consciousness’. This paper approaches the work of one of the ‘prophets’ of the Atomic Age: the antinuclear activist and philosopher Günther Anders. The aim of this article is to identify and delve into the connections that can be established among Apocalypse, modern technology, and the experience of historical time. The question of modern technology is here considered as a fundamental element of contemporary apocalyptic approaches. In light of this, the atomic bomb is proposed as a key to understanding how Western societies have related to their historical horizon, their ontological construction of ‘man’, and the very sense of temporality since 1945
