W. Benjamin on Critique - Dictionary of Arguments
Bolz II 19 Critique/Romantic Critique/Benjamin: Critique does not refer its object in a judgmental way, but rather as a potentiating factor to the Absoluteum of Art. R.K finished the work! (GoetheVsCritique: "The work of art is not subject to critique!") >Critical Theory. Critique: Critical Process/Benjamin: Critiquue is rescuing in Benjamin, because it is dialectically immanent and not negated but interpreted. It is not a negation, as determined by Hegel, which transcends to a new form. For the history-philosophical, progressive figure, to which it is inscribed, is not aimed at an idealistic self-elevation of the mind, but at its decay. Rescuing is critique in the thinking of the destruction as transition. Bolz II 20 Modern critique : "Mortification of the works" is not an increase of consciousness (romantic), but a settlement of the knowledge in them".(1) Bolz II 21 Commentary (Jewish tradition): a commentary has substantive content. Critique: Critique is the truth content. Bolz II 29 Critique/Benjamin: "The critic judges in the face of the author." Benjamin sees this quite physically destructive. "Real polemics take a book as lovingly as a cannibal prepares a baby." "Devouring books" means incorporation, destruction, material hunger and self-sufficiency. Incorporation rather than empathy also changes the works. Living in the book - Children's books have a great value for Benjamin. Bolz II 36 Teaching is abolished critique, critique is inverse theology and religion. It is the "concrete totality of experience". >Theorie, >Religion, >Erfahrung, >Wahrheitsgehalt. 1. W.
