[edit]

By citing primarily critiques of left politics and philosophy like Mark Lilla, and the 'popular press," with a very fringy article linking Bemjamin's death to "Stalin's killers, the article lacks the viewpoint of scholars like the art historian Werckmeister, and indeed a whole host of commentators on the left, who read this figure of the Angel of History quite differently. I agree that a wider range of sources is required to treat this major contribution to historical criticism. The link to the European Graduate School is not only broken, it is not a credible source, and there is no author cited. The link to historicism is confusing in that there are multiple theories of historicism, as the article says, and thus does not illuminate Benjamin's stance. Scholarly input is needed!
