Benjamin’s Challenge to Husserl. A Critical Approach to the Phenomenology of Sensory Perception
The present research project aims to give a systematic account of Walter Benjamin’s theory of the historic mutability of sensory perception, i.e. his theory according to which the very structure of human perception is as such historically relative and variable. By contrasting this claim with the theory of perception put forth in Husserl’s classical phenomenology – where sensory perception is regarded, on the contrary, as an invariable core-element of human experience – the project intends to asses the value and the implications of Benjamin’s theory as a challenge to one of the most fundamental presuppositions of phenomenological epistemology. As such, the present project understands itself from the onset as part of a broader research endeavour, aiming to investigate the various tensions and interrelations between phenomenology and critical theory.
