書籍簡介

在紀念沃爾特·本傑明 (Walter Benjamin) 極具影響力的文章“Toward the Critique of Violence”一百週年之際，這一批判性版本向讀者展示了一部被廣泛認為是現代政治理論經典著作的全新的、帶完整註釋的翻譯。

該捲包括本傑明的 21 個筆記和片段，以及他的文章所引用的所有同時期文本的段落。讀者因此第一次遇到由 Hermann Cohen、Kurt Hiller、Erich Unger 和 Emil Lederer 提出的關於法律和暴力的英語挑釁性論點。喬治·索雷爾 (Georges Sorel) 對暴力的反思選集的新譯本進一步闡明瞭本傑明的批判計劃。本卷還包括本雅明為擴展論文和發展相應的法律哲學而起草的書目，這在任何語言中都是第一次。廣泛的介紹和後記提供了額外的背景。

本傑明的著作對暴力、法律和正義進行了富有挑戰性的論述，涉及諸如警察暴力、死刑等熱點問題，其重要性不亞於一個世紀前在德國魏瑪出版時的重要性。  

Marking the centenary of Walter Benjamin's immensely influential essay, "Toward the Critique of Violence," this critical edition presents readers with an altogether new, fully annotated translation of a work that is widely recognized as a classic of modern political theory.

The volume includes twenty-one notes and fragments by Benjamin along with passages from all of the contemporaneous texts to which his essay refers. Readers thus encounter for the first time in English provocative arguments about law and violence advanced by Hermann Cohen, Kurt Hiller, Erich Unger, and Emil Lederer. A new translation of selections from Georges Sorel's Reflections on Violence further illuminates Benjamin's critical program. The volume also includes, for the first time in any language, a bibliography Benjamin drafted for the expansion of the essay and the development of a corresponding philosophy of law. An extensive introduction and afterword provide additional context.

With its challenging argument concerning violence, law, and justice-which addresses such topical matters as police violence, the death penalty, and the ambiguous force of religion-Benjamin's work is as important today as it was upon its publication in Weimar Germany a century ago.
