Wake Up From A Dream World "

Benjamin's philosophy is not only a critique of modernity, but also the redemption of modernity. His unique way of critique of modernity results in his unique experience of it. Benjamin's thought is characterized by contradiction, which is reflected in his love-hate relationship of modernity of art, reflected in his wondering between pieces and integrity, reflected in his hovering between Historical Materialism and the Messiah. However, it is exactly the contradiction that generate the tension of his thought, and he tries to saving modernity with his own philosophy, as well as accepting experiencing, judging it. In order to resist the shift of the society, he tries to use their own unique concept, such as the arcade project, dialectical images, allegorical criticism to go beyond the illusion of the developed capitalist society representation. Although his salvation is weak, but there are also worth looking forward to the possibilities. In short, as a theorist of modernity, Benjamin has its own unique perspective and thoughts. He tried to build his own "Future Philosophy", which in a sense can be called the "New Philosophy of Experience", so let's see how Benjamin awaken this sleeping and altered world in his dream.
