Cult and Technology

Walter Benjamin’s The Work of Art in the Age of Technological Reproduction provides insight into the development of the author›s political-aesthetic thinking. Of the sixteen texts in the volume, eight have previously appeared in Hungarian; these are presented in revised translations, while the other eight texts are being published in Hungarian for the first time. With its diverse yet interconnected themes, ranging from moral philosophy and pedagogy to art theory and political economy, the volume highlights the contemporary relevance of Benjamin›s mode of thought.
