Benjamin's "On the Concept of History"

He's one of my favorite interlocuters and has greatly influenced my consideration of historical objects.

Enjoy!

Jetztzeit and Gegenwart is a good example.

It is difficult to read German philosophy, even in German, because the German is highly specialized. Just reading the Adorno letters makes my head spin.
