Walter Benjamin (b.1892)

from Sleep With Philosophy · host Whisper.fm

In tonight's episode of 'Sleep with Philosophy', we wade under moonlight into the life of Walter Benjamin, a profound intellectual of the 20th century. Let the hum of the bustling Berlin, his birthplace, whisk you away as we explore the era that shaped his thoughts – from Nietzschean philosophy to Freudian theories and widespread industrialization. Feel the reflective echoes of his penetrating views on art, history, and technology weave into the soft fabric of your thoughts before drifting into sleep. And when dawn breaks, maybe we'll discover new perspectives on our modern lives together. Tune in for a journey through the corridors of Benjamin’s brilliant mind. Your sleep has never been this enlightening.This episode is hosted by Rachel Brown.
