«Der Begriff der Kunstkritik in der deutschen Romantik» is Walter Benjamin's essay on art criticism (Suhrkamp, paperback, 118 pages, in German).
Walter Benjamin analyzes in this essay the concept of art criticism developed by German Romanticism. Written as a doctoral thesis in Berna (1918-1919), it was his first publication and already contains central motifs of his later thought, such as the relationship between reflection, work and criticism in Romantic aesthetics.
The 1991 edition is the fifth of the suhrkamp taschenbuch wissenschaft collection and includes the author's handwritten additions and his notes on Romanticism.
For students and specialists in philosophy, aesthetics and literary theory, as well as for readers interested in the origins of Walter Benjamin's thought.
Walter Bendix Schönflies Benjamin was a German philosopher, cultural critic, media theorist, and essayist. An eclectic thinker who combined elements of German idealism, Jewish mysticism, Western Marxism, and post-Kantianism, he made contributions to the philosophy of history, metaphysics, historical materialism, criticism, and aesthetics, and had an oblique but overwhelmingly influential impact on the resurrection of the Kabbalah by virtue of his life-long epistolary relationship with Gershom Scholem.
