Description

Explore the evolution of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. In Walter Benjamin's Concept of the Image, author Alison Ross provides a detailed study of how Benjamin's understanding of the image changed throughout his career. This academic work examines the shifts in his thinking from his 1924 essay on 'Goethe's Elective Affinities' through his work on The Arcades Project up until 1940. By using Immanuel Kant's treatment of sensuous form in aesthetics as a comparative reference, Ross builds a clear argument regarding the transitions in Benjamin's philosophy. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Philosophy series. It offers a deep look into how Benjamin viewed the image as a central component of his intellectual development, making it a valuable addition to any collection of philosophical or art theory literature.
