ABADI, Florencia. The Knowledge Foundation from an Objective Exigency of Redemption: A Systematic Line through Walter Benjamin’s Work. arete [online]. 2015, vol.27, n.1, pp.7-27. ISSN 1016-913X.

In this paper I state that throughout Walter Benjamin’s writings a constant element can be found: the aim to ground knowledge on demand of redemption of the object. I show that in the four realms where the Benjaminian theory of knowledge is developed -philosophy, art criticism, translation and historical knowledge-, the principal categories of his conception stress this demand by a peculiar use of the suffix "barkeit" (-bility), present in the concepts of "solutionabiliy" of the philosophical task, the "criticizability" of the artwork, the "translatability" of language and the "now of cognizability" of the past.
