Walter Benjamin (1896-1940) has been called by Hannah Arendt the "greatest critic of the century." While an increasing number of Anglo-American literary critics draw upon Benjamin's writings in their own works, their colleagues in the philosophical community remain relatively unacquainted with his legacy. In the European intellectual world, by contrast, Benjamin's critical epistemological program, his philosophies of history and language, and his aesthetics have long since become part of philosophical discourse. The present collection of articles, many of which were contained in earlier versions in the Winter 1983 special issue of the journal The Philosophical Forum, initiates the project of establishing Benjamin's importance to philosophy. A balance of original work by Benjamin and important commentary on his works, this volume includes the crucial chapter from Benjamin's magnum opus The Arcades Project, his "Program of the Coming Philosophy," and "Central Park," as well as essays by leading scholars (including Theodor W. Adorno, Leo Lowenthal, and Rolf Tiedemann) that treat single philosophical themes and relate his ideas to those of other thinkers such as Gadamer, Goodmann, and Rosenzweig. Gary Smith's introduction to the volume provides an extremely useful and sophisticated entrée for readers unaccustomed to the breadth of Benjamin's philosophical allusions, as well as an informative summation of the contents of the volume. This book will be of interest to philosophers, literary theorists, art historians, anthropologists, and other social scientists.
Photographic model turned minor actor Benjamin Zambraia feels mocked by his spurious sort of fame. He is also haunted by Castana Beatriz, a love he lost 30 years before, but whose double has begun to crop up around town. Could Arieta Muse be Castana's daughter?
The harsh winter and great outdoors of upstate New York provide Benjamin with the only solace from an otherwise agonizing existence. His mother's abusive alcoholic boyfriend, the bully on the bus, and a Math teacher who pays a little too much attention to schoolboys are slowly chipping away at his dignity and feelings of self-worth. Benjamin clings to any sense of normalcy, until a series of escalating events drives him to the very edge of suicide. He begs God for help-a divine intervention-but his prayers go unanswered until he has an epiphany: God helps those who help themselves.
Benjamin is a talented seven year old artist who was given the gift of clairvoyance from God to help his family and friends cope with tragedies from the past and tragedies yet to come. Benji's older brother Billy and Billy's best friend Trevor are jealous of Benji's artistic ability until he shows them how he envisions a picture on the canvas. Together, the three of them create a painting and use it to locate a missing toddler. Through Benji's gift of foresight, God informs him about a death in the family in the not-so-distant future. Benji has accepted this to be true, but will his family?
