Paperback. Zustand: New. The Messianic Reduction is a groundbreaking study of Walter Benjamin's thought. Fenves places Benjamin's 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 Benjamin's friendship with Gershom Scholem, who was a student of mathematics before he became a scholar of Jewish mysticism, Fenves shows how mathematical research informs Benjamin's reflections on the problem of historical time. In order to capture the character of Benjamin's "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 Benjamin's deep and abiding engagement with Kantian critique, including Benjamin's discovery of the political counterpart to the categorical imperative in the idea of "pure violence.".…

Paperback. Zustand: New. On Goethe contains the full range of Walter Benjamin's reflections on the central figure in modern German culture. The writings in this volume-newly translated, fully annotated, and framed by an extensive introduction-display a variety of styles and cover a vast array of topics. The collection revolves around two strikingly different essays. Whereas "Goethe's Elective Affinities" develops a theory of critique in which a work is illuminated wholly from within itself, an article Benjamin wrote on Goethe for the Soviet Encyclopedia represents his first large-scale attempt to elaborate a historical-materialist methodology. The other thirty translations stand in similarly productive tension with one another. Some are concerned with concepts of beauty and categories of the aesthetic, others with the relation of art to politics and the status of "classical authors" in contemporary culture, and still others with what remains of humanistic traditions in the wake of their disappearance under fascist regimes and what synthesis is required for the construction of a historical object. The volume provides a glimpse into the laboratory of Benjamin's thought, while granting readers a series of insights into the epochal phenomena that gather around the name "Goethe.".…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Si bien Jacques Derrida es usualmente caracterizado como el gran pensador de la escritura, su obra resulta impensable si no concedemos un lugar central en ella a la lectura. Y aunque suela enfatizarse el consabido esfuerzo de Derrida en sus primeros textos por liberar al significante escrito de su interpretación metafísica, este esfuerzo no termina de entenderse si no se toma en consideración la práctica de lectura que lo hace posible. Acompañados por un prólogo de los editores, el presente volumen está compuesto por cinco textos que analizan el rol de la lectura en el corpus derridiano: En los bordes de Althusser, de Peggy Kamuf, recorre los encuentros textuales entre Derrida y Louis Althusser, con el objetivo central de esclarecer la lectura tardía de Marx por parte de Derrida; Peter Fenves se concentra en la lectura derrididana de Wal ter Benjamin en Fuerza de ley; en Derrida, lector de Levinas Erin Graff-Zivin explora el estatuto ético, político y temporal de la lectura deconstructiva; por su parte, Fabián Ludueña Romandini restituye el rol central que detentan Max Stirner y la fenomenología husserliana en la espectrología política de Derrida; y para conluir, Ronald Mendoza de Jesús estudia la relación entre vida, soberanía y democracia a la luz de las páginas que Derrida consagra a Giorgio Agamben en La bestia y el soberano, entre otros textos derridianos. El lector encontrará aquí cinco textos, escritos especialmente para el presente volumen como todos los que integran esta colección, que responden al desafío con el que nos sigue interpelando la escritura de Derrida. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Two Studies of Friedrich Hölderlin shows how the poet enacts a radical theory of meaning that culminates in a unique and still groundbreaking concept of revolution, one that begins with a revolutionary understanding of language. The product of an intense engagement with both Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida, the book presents Werner Hamacher's major attempts at developing a critical practice commensurate with the immensity of Hölderlin's late writings. These essays offer an incisive and innovative combination of critical theory and deconstruction while also identifying where influential critics like Heidegger fail to do justice to the poet's astonishing radicality. Readers will not only come away with a new appreciation of Hölderlin's poetic and political-theoretical achievements but will also discover the motivating force behind Hamacher's own achievements as a literary scholar and political theorist. An introduction by Julia Ng and an afterword by Peter Fenves provide further information about these studies and the academic and theoretical context in which they were composed.…
