About the article in Linguafranca The article is clearly problematic. It is yet another example of how Jünger as so many other subjects is not fit for short introductory journalism. He is too vast. It is difficult to grasp him as a whole. And maybe one shouldn't, even though it is very interesting to try, but one shouldn't do it in a normal article, since that would never be sincere. Thus I don't see the article as an academic problem, since it is not academic, I see it as a journalistic problem, and this lies in the problems of normal journalism itself. Not much we can do about it, and I can live with that. Jünger will never be popular, and I don't think he should be. But I sincerely hope his audience among the academics and the intellectuals will grow, and I believe it will, for so many reasons.
