recognition he deserved as a philosopher and poet, although he had an
influence on other thinkers from this century such as Adorno and
Sartre. The author of the article stresses that Sanders was a thinker
who, throughout his life, was committed to the fight against injustice;
he was always critical of power. In the last years of his life, at the age of
ninety, he continued to be committed to the fight against nuclear
