This book examines the philosophical thought of the young Walter
Benjamin and its development in his later work. Starting from his
critique of the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and Hermann Cohen, the
author traces the relationships among Benjamin's theories -
developed in tandem with his friend Gershom Scholem - of knowledge,
language, ethics, politics, the philosophy of history and
aesthetics, all linked to the Judaic theme of messianism and
language as a realm of redemption. She delineates a horizon in
which the concept of experience as structure, philosophical system
and "infinite task" (On the Program of the Coming Philosophy,
1917/18) evolves into a concept of the origin as monad (The Origin
of German Tragic Drama, 1925), merging finally into the historical
concept as monad and dialectical image (On the Concept of History,
1940). Tagliacozzo asserts that the concept of experience as
structure and symbolic system, derived from his critical
interpretation of Kant and Neo-Kantianism, develops into a
conception of thought founded on a theological language of
revelation.
