Walter Benjamin and Teleology

Pérez López, Carlos Alberto

Ideas y valores, 12/2018, Volume: 67, Issue: 168

Journal Article

It has often been rightly said that the representation of history in Walter Benjamin's thought is essentially anti-teleological. However, his writings reveal two important mentions of the term “teleology” that make it possible to think of an exceptional use of this concept: "Teleology without End" and the “ teleologicalmoment of awakening”. The article examines how these almost hidden clues regarding teleology have full repercussions on Benjamin's conception of history, thus refuting the interpretation according to which teleology would have been completely banished from his philosophy.
