thumb|Günther Anders and Hannah Arendt (1929) Günther Anders (born Günther Siegmund Stern; Breslau, 12 July 1902 – Vienna, 17 December 1992) was a German philosopher, journalist, essayist and poet. 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. The power of an ideology is not only measured by the answers it can provide but by the questions that it is able to suppress. Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen: über die Seele im Zeitalter der zweiten industriellen Revolution (1956), Volume 1, p. 349. The Outdatedness of Human Beings as quoted in english by Paul Virilio, Bertrand Richard in The Administration of Fear (2012), p. 42. Der Mensch schämt sich, geboren, statt gemacht zu sein. Er schämt sich der Tatsache, im Unterschied zu den tadellosen und bis ins Letzte durchkalkulierten Produkten sein Dasein dem blinden und unkalkulierten, dem höchst altertümlichen Prozess der Zeugung und Geburt zu verdanken. 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.
