Where it came from
Metaphysik der Profanen, published by Columbia University Press in 2003, serves as an academic examination of the work of German-Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin. Eric Jacobson explores the intersection of Benjamin’s theology and his materialist critique of culture, specifically focusing on how Benjamin sought to reconcile his commitment to Jewish mysticism with his engagement in radical politics.
The book is situated within the broader context of 20th-century critical theory and provides a rigorous analysis of Benjamin’s unfinished projects and his complex relationship with contemporaries like Gershom Scholem. It was received by the scholarly community as a significant contribution to the study of German-Jewish intellectual history, praised for its careful navigation of the tensions inherent in Benjamin’s disparate, yet profoundly influential, body of work.
