Books by Jonathan Boyarin

Taking Walter Benjamin's famous image of the Angel of History blown into the future by "a storm from paradise" as his point of departure, Boyarin launches an examination of the role of memory in the study of knowledge, culture and power.

How about starting with wonder at the possibility that dialogue and subjectivity, the bases of human language, are possible? This title discusses about the relation between cosmos and consciousness.
