Content:
Known for his essays on culture, aesthetics, and literature, Walter Benjamin also wrote on the philosophy of language. For Alexander Stern, his famously obscure-and, for some, hopelessly mystical-early work contains important insights, anticipating and in some respects surpassing Wittgenstein's later thinking on the philosophy of language.
