Kontingente Konnektionen. Walter Benjamins Kritik der Schuld
Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 60 (5):725-742 (2012)
Abstract
This essay explores Walter Benjamin’s critique of the concept of guilt as it underlies the occidental notion of “connective justice”. It describes both the political-moral and the psychological-ethical effects of guilt and reconstructs Benjamin’s idea of ‘Entsühnung’, understood as a rigorous termination of the circle between act and consequence. Finally, possible political, ethical and historical alternatives are discussed.Author's Profile
