This article employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the works of Ernst Jünger and Martin Heidegger, arguing that their philosophical metaphors on war, death, and existential authenticity have not only reflected post-World War I crises but have also inadvertently contributed to the normalization of violence in modern political discourse. By analyzing key texts (such as *Storm of Steel* and *Being and Time*) and their indirect influence on authoritarian movements of the 21st century, it is demonstrated how the "aesthetics of darkness" in philosophy can become a tool for justifying destructive ideologies. This research warns that uncritical readings of these texts risk reproducing a "sanctified madness."
