| Description: |
This study of Benjamin's "The Origin of German Tragic Drama" views it as a critique of anthropocentric historical thinking, which introduces an ethico-theological dimension. It reconstructs this dimension by analyzing the stones, animals and angels that are scattered throughout his writings. |
| 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. |
