Content introduction:
Walter benjamin, a German cultural critic, has enjoyed a growing position and influence in western ideological circles since 1960s, and he has undoubtedly become one of the greatest writers in the 20th century. In this small group of outstanding figures, Benjamin belongs to a rarer and more outstanding category. As early as the end of 1960s, when "Benjamin fever" crossed the Atlantic and landed in North America, hannah arendt expounded it in her long introduction to the English version of the Enlightenment (new york, 1968).
This book specifically includes: awakening Zhang Xudong from the "bourgeois century", Walter Benjamin: 1892- 1940 Hannah Arendt, on Nicholas Laiske, on Baudelaire's motif, etc.
About the author:
Walter Benjamin (1892- 1940) is a Jew. He is a rare genius in the 20th century, a real genius, and "the last intellectual in Europe". Benjamin's life is a wandering drama. His Kafka-style delicacy, sensitivity and fragility did not make him hide quietly at a fixed night, but drove him to live in Europe and experience shock. Benjamin's loneliness is loneliness under the background of noise and sports, which makes people despair and destroys hope. Benjamin's writing is always hovering between despair and hope, between the public and theology, and this kind of writing has thus gained a certain ambiguous ethical attitude.
