Abstract

Benjamin's philosophy is a criticism of modernity and at once an appeal to salvation.For this purpose, all his expositions on pure language, experience, ideal and political Messiahistic philosophy of history aim at laying an epistemological foundation, that is, returning back to truth and origin, or returning to an intersubjective, non-violent, harmonious relationship.We are able to understand Benjamin's aesthetics only on the basis of his theory of truth.

Key words： Walter Benjamin; truth; salvation; modernity
