Ernst Jรผnger: fear and freedom (from the "Treatise on the rebel")

Ernst Jรผnger was born on March 29, 1895. For the anniversary we want to propose to our readers an extract from his "Treatise on the Rebel" (1951), written exactly seventy years ago, which, read today, appears to be nothing short of disconcerting. What is most striking is the incredible topicality of the German philosopher's analysis and his vision, to say the least, prophetic on what the world would be in what he called the "Age of the Titans", in which we ourselves find ourselves today. to live.
