Resumo: In paragraph 18 of “Toward the Critique of Violence,” the ter s life, living, and violence, and the relations among them, complicate Walter Benjamin's justification of divine violence—his text's main discovery. This article seeks to reconstruct Benjamin's uses of life and living in earlier texts and to consider the potential influence of various authors he was reading at the time (Heinrich Rickert, Erich Unger, Kurt Hiller, Gershom Scholem). Benjamin's distinction between life and living is crucial for his critique of pacifism and for his shift in perspective: he moves the focus from the victim to the one committing murder, but whose violent act just might bring justice.

Este artigo procura reconstruir os usos de Benjamin da vida e vivência em textos anteriores e considerar a influência potencial de vários autores que ele estava lendo na época (Heinrich Rickert, Erich Unger, Kurt Hiller, Gershom Scholem). A distinção de Benjamin entre vida e viver é crucial para sua crítica ao pacifismo e para sua mudança de perspectiva: ele muda o foco da vítima para aquele que comete um assassinato, mas cujo ato violento só pode trazer justiça.Universidade Federal de Goiás2021-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/7117610.5216/rth.v24i2.71176Revista de Teoria da História; Vol. 24 No. 2 (2021): Walter Benjamin historiador; 54 - 63Revista de Teoria da História; v. 24 n. 2 (2021): Walter Benjamin historiador; 54 - 632175-5892reponame:Revista de Teoria da Históriainstname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/71176/37824Copyright (c) 2021 rth |https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBojanić, Petar2021-12-30T20:01:41Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/71176Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/PUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/oai||revistateoriadahistoria@hotmail.com2175-58922175-5892opendoar:2021-12-30T20:01:41Revista de Teoria da História - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false
