ON PAIN

1.How would you judge Jünger's thesis that pain is the central experience of life?

i dont quite agree but i sort of understand what he is talking about, my understanding is that no matter what we do and how different we live our lives today pain is like a revolving door that is bound to coming around in ones life sooners or later.

2. What does "post-liberal" refer to and how does it relate to the idea of progress?

Junger refers the phrase post- liberal to life after liberalism or asn said in the reading to be a time when government believed that as technical and material development increased that social problems whould become more manageable. it relates to progress in the sense that "progress is the foundation of liberaism"meaning progress is the goal hoped to achive with liberaism. 

3. Why is photography the "evil eye" according to Jünger?

phoyography is the evil eye because it tells us the truth, it grasps things we miss and allow us to see certaing things in different ways

 

4. What is the relationship between specialized education and the "worker type."

5. How does submission to totalitarian authorities protect an individual from pain?

 

 

"The profussion of violetn imagery, and the fast pace and constant danger of modern life nforcesn people to become more tolerant of pain and death."

i chose this quote from this weeks reading because i agree with what it means. i think this quote means that due to the way life is as we know it has made us more accustom to things that happen throughtout the course of life. for example almost everyday on the news there is a dead person or another, when most people turn on the TV they are either expecting to hear simmilar strories or they arent much moved by the news of sad story simply because they have become use to hearing such things. this quote says that we take life the way we live.
