Abstract
The essay analyses the relationship between the man and the world in the philosophical reflection of Günther Anders. The starting point is the understanding of some concepts - liberty, extraneousness, hungry, need - and of their critical reformulation in comparison with Martin Heidegger's speculation. The author focuses not only on Anders' philosophical production, but also on his narrative, correspondence, notes and diaries. On these bases, it is formulated an hypothesis which does not concern simply technique, but also connects Anders' reflection to those field of contemporary political philosophy centered on the ethics of care and on the philosophy of narration.
