The Messianic Reduction: Walter Benjamin and the Shape of Time by Peter Fenves (

Description: The Messianic Reduction by Peter Fenves Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The Messianic Reduction is the first study of Benjamins early philosophy that takes into consideration the full range of his work, with particular emphasis on its complex relation to phenomenology, Kant and neo-Kantianism, and certain developments in mathematics. Publisher Description The Messianic Reduction is a groundbreaking study of Walter Benjamins thought. Fenves places Benjamins early writings in the context of contemporaneous philosophy, with particular attention to the work of Bergson, Cohen, Husserl, Frege, and Heidegger. By concentrating on a neglected dimension of Benjamins friendship with Gershom Scholem, who was a student of mathematics before he became a scholar of Jewish mysticism, Fenves shows how mathematical research informs Benjamins reflections on the problem of historical time. In order to capture the character of Benjamins "entrance" into the phenomenological school, the book includes a thorough analysis of two early texts he wrote under the title of "The Rainbow," translated here for the first time. In its final chapters, the book works out Benjamins deep and abiding engagement with Kantian critique, including Benjamins discovery of the political counterpart to the categorical imperative in the idea of "pure violence." Author Biography Peter Fenves is Joan and Sarepta Harrison Professor of Literature, Professor of German, Comparative Literary Studies, and Jewish Studies, and Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and English at Northwestern University. His most recent book is Late Kant: Towards Another Law of the Earth (2003).
