内容説明
This text reveals the philosophical and ethical dimensions of the "Trauerspiel" study, showing how its thematics were to become prominent in Benjamin's writings from the 1930s. Hanssen finds in Benjamin's "The Origin of German Tragic Drama", a profound critique of anthropocentric historical thinking. Insisting on the materialistic category of natural history, Benjamin not only criticized idealistic conceptions of history writing, but also introduced an ethico-theological dimension that is often overlooked. Hanssen reconstructs this dimension through an analysis of the seemingly innocuous figures of stones, animals and angels that are scattered throughout his writings. She places Benjamin's work in the context of such contemporaries as Adorno, Cohen, Lukacs, Kafka, Kraus and Heidegger, and demonstrates the persistence of Benjaminian themes in contemporary philosophy and critical theory.
