Ernst Jünger and Mechanized War as a Boundary Condition
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Ernst Jünger and Mechanized War as a Boundary Condition
Friday 29 March 2024 is the 129th anniversary of the birth of Ernst Jünger (29 March 1895 – 17 February 1998), who was born in Heidelberg on this date in 1895. He served in both world wars of the twentieth century and lived more than a century.
Jünger is mostly remembered for his memoir of the First World War, Storm of Steel, but during the inter-war period he also produced a number of controversial books and essays that prophesied the future conditions of mechanized war, and of society transformed by mechanized war. I argue that, for Jünger, mechanized war is a boundary condition from which other historical novelties emerge.
