The Language of the End. On Benjamin and Rosenzweig as Philosophers of Translation

Lecture Open

Can translation tell us something about the ultimate destiny of language? Bringing Franz Rosenzweig and Walter Benjamin into dialogue, this lecture explores the philosophical tension between the irreducible plurality of languages and the promise of their reconciliation—a unity that can only be conceived beyond history.
