Walter Benjamin is the embodiment of an exemplary intellectual of the 20th century; a philosopher who is unable to find his place in the rapidly changing cultural landscape of his country and the whole of Europe, persecuted and persecuted, delving into the depths of humanitarian knowledge - classical and contemporary, impulsive and rebellious, but invariably in the first rank of the leading thinkers of his time. Each Benjamin's work is a capacious but profound event for philosophy and culture, as well as a reason for a new rethinking of classical ideas about various phenomena of modernity.
