Episteme des "Ur" bei Ernst Jünger: Paläontologie und Vorgeschichte

Ernst Jünger's texts are permeated by a dense network of metaphors and concepts that he took from paleontology and research into prehistory. This study is the first to systematically reconstruct his adaptation of paleobiological, geological, and historiographical discourses in the chronological order of his works, thereby opening up new perspectives on Jünger’s mythologization of history, shaped by the history of knowledge and science.
