Hobs, filozofija i svašta

Moja preporuka je mnogo laganja, pre svega: Iskustvo i siromaštvo, Iskustvo, Studentski život, Berlinsko detinjstvo i Sudbinu i krakter kao uvod u zrelijeg Benjamina. Svo ovo postoji prevdeno u neke 3-4 varijante , s tim da prevode Jovice Aćina držim kao najrazgovetnije ali njih nećeš naći online.

Ako ti se priloženo dopadene postoji i odličan izbor na HR za: [url=http://kok.memoryoftheworld.org/Walter Benjamin/Novi andeo (784)/Novi andeo - Walter Benjamin.pdf]Planetariji, Hašiš u Marseju i Zentral Park[/url] sa pogovorom. Sve su ovo fragmenti neveliki obimom ali zahtevniji za razumevenje. Zato bi ti najpozdaniji vodič u građu bio Đođo Agamben sa Infancy and history: the destruction of experience.

Tolko.

Isn’t it high time it were proclaimed that every
discernible crime is a punishable one, and that we are
resolved, if given the opportunity, to punish all crimes?
A few straightforward measures of public salubrity
would protect the population from offences against the
truth.


The first would be to set up, with such protection in
view, special courts enjoying the highest prestige,
composed of judges specially selected and trained. They
would be responsible for publicly condemning any
avoidable error, and would be able to sentence to prison
or hard labour for repeated commission of the offence,
aggravated by proven dishonesty of intention.


For instance, a lover of Ancient Greece, reading in one
of Maritain’s books: ‘The greatest thinkers of antiquity
had not thought of condemning slavery’, would indict
Maritain before one of these tribunals. He would take
along with him the only important reference to slavery that
has come down to us—the one from Aristotle. He would
invite the judges to read the sentence: ‘Some people assert
that slavery is absolutely contrary to nature and reason.’
He would observe that there is nothing to make us
suppose these particular ‘people’ were not among the
greatest thinkers of antiquity. The court would censure
Maritain for having published—when it was so easy for
him to avoid falling into such a mistake—a false assertion,
and one constituting, however unintentionally, an
outrageous calumny against an entire civilization. All the
daily papers, weeklies and others; all the reviews and the
radio would be obliged to bring the court’s censure to the
notice of the public, and, if need be, Maritain’s answer. In
this particular case, it seems most unlikely there could be
one.
