| Abstract | |
The following study aims to focus on the concept of criticism in Walter Benjamin's early writings by bringing up the articulation of Friedrich Schlegel's and Novalis' philosophical theory of reflection as ground for romantic art criticism. In this sense, the present study intends to show how Benjamin's own criticism distinguishes itself from that of the romantic, for what he discusses the classical aesthetic problem "formmatter" on art and does it by attempting to grasp the relationship between romantic and Goethe's late aesthetic. Nevertheless, Benjamin's effort tries to understand how romantic theory of reflection fulfills a deep critique and overcoming of the german classical philosophical problems. This theory, teaches us Benjamin, is to be seen as a latin construct named "Reflexions-medium" or medium of reflection/reflection's medium, with which Walter Benjamin himself undertakes the same kind of strong criticism opened with Schlegel and Novalis in the late 18th century (AU) | |
