{"product_id":"walter-benjamin-7-richard-wolin-9780520084001","title":"Walter Benjamin: An Aesthetic of Redemption Volume 7","description":"Few twentieth-century thinkers have proven as influential as Walter Benjamin, the German-Jewish philosopher and cultural and literary critic. Richard Wolin's book remains among the clearest and most insightful introductions to Benjamin's writings, offering a philosophically rich exposition of his complex relationship to Adorno, Brecht, Jewish Messianism, and Western Marxism. Wolin provides nuanced interpretations of Benjamin's widely studied writings on Baudelaire, historiography, and art in the age of mechanical reproduction. In a new Introduction written especially for this edition, Wolin discusses the unfinished \u003ci\u003eArcades Project\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as recent tendencies in the reception of Benjamin's work and the relevance of his ideas to contemporary debates about modernity and postmodernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Wolin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520084004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520084001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 5.95w x 0.92d","brand":"Richard Wolin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056202379519,"sku":"9780520084001","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f1a4805-5bf3-4d50-bd66-0541be881391.jpg?v=1685040060","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/walter-benjamin-7-richard-wolin-9780520084001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
