A OBSOLESCÊNCIA DA HUMANIDADE: A tragédia nuclear a partir de Günther Anders e Katsuhiro Otomo

Since 1945, we are in a nuclear age. The nuclear bomb event brought not only military implications, but also technical and philosophical implications. From a fiction - Akira - we want, in this article, to explore the implications of a nuclear disaster from two points of view: from the point of view of the ethical challenges - rethinking the mean-ending relation from technique and technology and, after that, from the point of view of the possibility conditions of ethics itself, the survival of the human species and, on the other hand, the necessary and sufficient conditions for a life that deserves to be lived. Having as references Günter Anders, Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt, authors who lived and reflected on what it meant to live in a nuclear age, we sought, through fiction, to offer an example of an articulation between scientific research, philosophical problematization and the practice of teaching philosophy, with the school as a privileged space of action.
