Walter Benjamin's Other History: Of Stones, Animals, Human Beings, and Angels: 15 (Weimar & Now: German Cultural Criticism)

by Beatrice Hanssen (Author)

Synopsis

Long considered to be an impenetrable, hermetic treatise, Walter Benjamin's The Origin of German Tragic Drama has rarely received the attention it deserves as a key text, central to a full understanding of his work. In this critically acclaimed study, distinguished Benjamin scholar Beatrice Hanssen unlocks the philosophical and ethical dimensions of his thought with great clarity and sophisitication.
