Abstract:Walter Benjamin (1892–1940) was a Frankfurt School philosopher and a Marxist, who helped develop critical theory and whose intellectual influence spans the humanities and social sciences. Most of his work has only been published relatively recently, and has largely remained fragmented and unfinished. He covered a breadth of topics in history, modernity, religiosity, art, literature, and technology.
