520 _aWalter Benjamin is one of the most influential authors in contemporary humanities, exerting a deep fascination for students and garnering scholarly interest in a variety of fields, such as history of philosophy, literature, film and media studies, political science, religion, architecture, art and history. This Handbook provides students and scholars with a guide to Walter Benjamin’s work that explores each of these areas in depth while also giving the reader a chance to discover connections to other areas of thought. In order to do justice to the complexity of Benjamin’s thinking, this volume includes international scholars from a variety of academic disciplines, and is organized such that a dialogue emerges between them. Each section presents an argument for the integration of its subject into the whole, demonstrating that what might seem specialized and esoteric actually intersects with the problems and questions of the other sections. Nathan Ross teaches interdisciplinary classes and philosophy at Adelphi University, USA. He has written and published on 19th and 20th century philosophy, with interests that span a variety of areas in critical theory, art, political philosophy and literature. His books include: The Philosophy and Politics of Aesthetic Experience (2017) and Walter Benjamin’s First Philosophy (2021), as well as translations and edited volumes.
