Gods, German scholars, and the gift of Greece: Friedrich Kittler's philhellenic fantasies
Article Abstract:
A discussion is presented on Friedrich Kittler's German culture studies, along with a comparison of his Greek fantasies to other instances of German philhellenism. His latest works of the 2000s highlight the Greek culture as a necessary supplement to science and technology, and his narratives of world history affirm slightly modified tales of Greek superiority over its neighbors in the Mediterranean.
