- Summary:
- "The reluctance to engage the rigor of Benjamin's thought is evident in the often-encountered tendency to adopt his writings piecemeal," states Friedlander (philosophy, Tel Aviv U.) in his introduction. Acknowledging that Benjamin himself did not explicitly articulate a unifying system for his thinking, Friedlander nevertheless finds it possible, and useful, to do so. This intriguing study is organized in nine chapters addressing the themes of language, image, time, body, dream, myth, Baudelaire, rescue, and remembrance.
