Resumen
POTESTA, ANDREA. THE CONCERN FOR THE UNCONDITIONAL AND MESSIANISM JACQUES DERRIDA, READER OF WALTER BENJAMIN. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2019, vol.68, n.169, pp.241-253. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v68n169.56311.
W. Benjamin expresses his political concerns in his theses on "revolutionary violence" as "divine exception". J. Derrida sees this as a historical rupture, a fact that allows for an analogy and even a continuity between the two authors. However, Derrida highlights the political inadequacy and the "unbearable" effect of Benjamin's formulation. The article seeks an in-depth understanding of this critique in order to advance toward a hypothesis that makes the two approaches to violence converge and that complements them with a discussion of Messianism and the issue of responsibility.
