  • TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Walter Benjamin on the Concept of History


    Monday 15 July 2024 is the 132nd anniversary of the Birth of Walter Benjamin (15 July 1892 – 26 September 1940), who was born in Berlin on this date in 1892.


    Benjamin is primarily known to philosophy of history through a short essay which was the last he wrote before he killed himself, “On the Concept of History,” though some of his earlier works also betray an interest in history. As a Marxist, Benjamin was explicit in his historical materialism, though he diverges from Marx on several important points. Even as he took over Bloch’s interest in messianism, his work prefigured much that was to come in literary theory.
