Aesthetics of memory

The work aims to delve deeper into Walter Benjamin's philosophy focusing on the idea of the threshold as a structuring notion that runs through the multiple phases of his thought. The mode of allegoresis present and expressive in this author's writing where a theory of dialectical images is articulated is important for our interpretation because Benjamin's own writing presents itself as a medium of reflection in which his epistemological conceptions about the character of the Idea his aesthetic reflections and his historiographical criticism are revealed. All her writing which brings up such questions is an expression and a threshold zone regarding the relationship between beauty/truth form/content language/image the sensible/intelligible time/history. It is therefore suggested that from the relationship between truth and beauty Benjamin develops in his critique the concept of sem-expression an element that undoes the false totality of appearance to reveal a true fragment of the world through the work of art connecting art as appearance to the field of truth revealing it as an essential law for thought.
