About the book >.>.> SEVEN decades after his death, German Jew- ish writer, philosopher, and literary critic Wal- ter Benjamin (1892-1940) continues to fasci- nate and influence. Here Uwe Steiner offers a comprehensive and sophisticated introduc- tion to the oeuvre of this intriguing theorist. Acknowledged only by a small circle of intellectuals during his lifetime, Benjamin is now a major figure whose work is essential to an understanding of modernity. Steiner traces the development of Benjamin's thought chronologically through his writings on phi- losophy, literature, history, politics, the media, art, photography, cinema, technology, and the- ology. Walter Benjamin reveals the essential coherence of its subject's thinking while also analyzing the controversial or puzzling facets of Benjamin's work. That coherence, Steiner contends, can best be appreciated by placing Benjamin in his proper context as a member of the German philosophical tradition and a par ticipant in contemporary intellectual debates.
