Description
The preface to Walter Benjamin’s The Origin of German Tragic Drama, which Benjamin himself described as “unrestrained chutzpah,” is now considered one of the most demanding philosophical texts of the twentieth century. Its difficulty lies in its experimental form, poised between a mosaic, montage, collage and assemblage of ideas, metaphors, aphorisms and quotations. Yet within a small space it also unfolds a broad range of philosophical themes. This detailed guide leads readers through the labyrinth, following the preface sentence by sentence and word by word while continually returning to its central subject: the question of originality in the modern age, focused on originality. The contents are in Czech.
