Hans Blumenberg was a German philosopher and intellectual historian.

He studied philosophy, German studies and the classics (1939–47, interrupted by World War II) and is considered to be one of the most important German philosophers of the century.

Quotes by Hans Blumenberg (?)

“Light is only seen in what it lets become visible. The "naturalness" of light consists precisely in this, that it only "dawns' in its own sense, with the visibility of things, and thus is itself not of the same nature as that which it evokes.”
― Hans Blumenberg

“Tapınakların ihtişamı ve Tanrı tasvirlerinin sanatı, 'humus' tabakasından yukarıya besleyici bir gıda taşıyabilecek olan 'kökler' fikrine izin vermez. Bu gıda tam da binalar üzerine bina, tasvirler üzerine tasvir ederek çekildiği düşünülen sınırların dışında bırakılandır.”

“Aristotle
formulated the same
point
in
more sober
terms
when
he
said
that, that
which sees
becomes colored
itself, so
to
speak, :and
that the
reality
of
the
perceived
and
the
reality
of
the
perceiving
are
identical.”
