Books by Benjamin Bennett

Secular Millenialism: The Train of Aesthetics from Baumgarten and Kant to Walt Disney and Hitler by Benjamin Bennett combines the perspectives of intellectual history, literary history, and political history in order to illuminate the operation of the idea of aesthetics, and of the historical actualization of that idea, in the background of twentieth-century totalitarianism.

Professor Bennett examines Hofmannsthal's work in the context of literary theory and the history of philosophy.
