Blumenberg's early philosophy of technology becomes tangible, as does his critique of linguistic perfectibility and conceptual thought, his theory of history as successive concepts of reality", his anthropology, or his studies of literature. History, Metaphors, Fables allows readers to discover a master thinker whose role in the German intellectual post-war scene can hardly be overestimated.

These wonderful works are still alive and popular. There is no esoteric content and verbosity in text. A writer sometimes experiences bitter circumstances, which redefined his thinking on several aspects of life which we may otherwise need not to ponder.
