The affinity between these noncontemporaneous thinkers serves as a limit case manifesting the precariousness and potentials of cultural transmission in a disillusioned present. In five chapters, Constellation presents the changing figure of Nietzsche as Benjamin encountered him: an inspiration to his student activism, an authority for his skeptical philology, a manifestation of his philosophical nihilism, a companion in his political exile, and ultimately a subversive collaborator in his efforts to think beyond the hopeless temporality?new and always the same?of the present moment in history. 606 $aBenjamin, Walter 615 0$aBenjamin, Walter. 676 $a193 700 $aMcFarland$b James$g(Philip James)$01811553 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910952274703321 996 $aConstellation$94363484 997 $aUNINA
