Walter Benjamin
He was a german-jewish sociologist and philosopher, who born in july 15 of 1892 and died in September 27 of 1940. He lived in the first half of the twentieth century, so is very obvious the influence that te historical context had in his history concept, because of the devastation of the first world war, and the begining of the Nacional Socialism and its entrance in the power.
Benjamin's most important work are the Theses on the Philosophy of History, where he speaks primarily about story development and the role of the individual in this. As a sociologist and cultural critic, Benjamin combined ideas drawn from historical materialism, German idealism and Jewish mysticism.
I admire him because of the incredible theory that he developes and becausse of the good decisions that he makes, not considering some elementes of K. Marx theory, or G. Hegel theory, and taking some importants parts of their theories that he considered that should be in his theoretical sistem.

ResponderEliminarHave a look at this sentence, something is wrong: "where he speaks primarily about story development and the role of the individual in this. "
