Jünger, Heidegger and Nihilism

This is the first in a series of lectures on the meaning of nihilism. I begin with the relationship between Jünger and Heidegger: their letter correspondences and the essays they dedicated to each other. At issue is the way in which Modern nihilism has manifested in technology. I explore the issue as it is addressed by Jünger in the essay he dedicated to Heidegger on his 60th birthday entitled "Across the Line."
