書籍簡介
本雅明是德國著名哲學家、文藝理論家。本書精選了本雅明最精彩的文章。
這本書包含了他對卡夫卡的看法,他覺得和卡夫卡個人關係密切;對波德萊爾和普魯斯特的研究;以及他關於萊斯科夫和布萊希特史詩戲劇的文章。他對“機械複製時代的藝術作品”的深入研究,對翻譯作為一種文學模式的富有啟發性的討論,以及他對歷史哲學的論述,都是他的啟迪。
漢娜·阿倫特為這本書挑選了幾篇文章,並用一篇關於本雅明在黑暗歷史時代生活的經典散文來介紹這些文章。
“There has been no more original, no more serious critic and reader in our time.” — George Steiner
Walter Benjamin was an icon of criticism, renowned for his insight on art, literature, and philosophy. This volume includes his views on Kafka, with whom he felt a close personal affinity; his studies on Baudelaire and Proust; and his essays on Leskov and on Brecht’s epic theater. Illuminations also includes his penetrating study “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” an enlightening discussion of translation as a literary mode, and his theses on the philosophy of history.
Hannah Arendt selected the essays for this volume and introduces them with a classic essay about Benjamin’s life in a dark historical era.
作者簡介
本雅明(Walter Benjamin,1892-1940)猶太人。他是20世紀罕見的天才,真正的天才,是“歐洲最後一名知識分子”。本雅明的一生是一部顛沛流離的戲劇,他的卡夫卡式的細膩、敏感、脆弱不是讓他安靜地躲在一個固定的夜晚,而是驅使他流落整個歐洲去體驗震驚;本雅明的孤獨是喧譁和運動背景下的孤獨,這種孤獨既令人絕望,又摧發希望,本雅明的寫作就永遠徘徊在絕望和希望之間,大眾和神學之間,這種寫作因此就獲得了某種暖昧的倫理學態度。曖昧正是本雅明的特性之一,他的身份,他的職業,他的主題,他的著述,他的信仰,他的空間,他的隻言片語,都不是確定的,都是難以分類的。真正確定的,只有一點,那就是他的博學、才華和敏鋭的辯證融會,正是這種融會,留給了20世紀一個巨大背景和一個思考空間。
WALTER BENJAMIN (1892–1940) was a German-Jewish Marxist literary critic, essayist, translator, and philosopher. He was at times associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory and was also greatly inspired by the Marxism of Bertolt Brecht and Jewish mysticism as presented by Gershom Scholem.
