More about the book
Walter Benjamin, a significant twentieth-century intellectual, is examined through two insightful essays. Born in Berlin to assimilated Jewish parents, his unique position as an 'unattached' intellectual shaped his fragmented and anti-systematic work. The essays by F. Querido and Michael Löwy highlight Benjamin's surrealist thought, which defies conventional modern frameworks. His intellectual isolation contributes to his allure, making him a captivating figure whose influence continues to resonate in contemporary discourse.
