3 Dialect and History, Religious philosophy and Truth

By: Mason

The articulation that Benjamin builds between experience and Dialect, in On the program of future philosophy, responds to the conviction that "a concept of knowledge acquired by a reflection on its linguistic essence will correlately provide a concept of experience that will encompass the domains that Kant does not managed to integrate into a systematic order". Benjamin, in opposition to Cohen's positivist reading of Kants Theorie der Erfahrung, writes that "among these domains the highest is that of religion." If neo-Kantians reduce the concept of experience to the dimension of Newtonian physics and inhibit a reflection on Dialect, history or religion, Benjamin extends its meaning by claiming that "future philosophy should be defined, in general, as a Religious philosophy, insofar as it would absorb as an example the elements taken from the history of philosophy" For the philosopher, philosophy cannot be thought of by silencing Religious philosophy, as he considers philosophical activity a linguistic exercise in naming, capable of showing the history of human thought.
