- Title
Sola fide. La fe desnuda y la religión capitalista en Walter Benjamin.
- Authors
Cruz Aponiuk, Juan
- Abstract
The following article dives into a commentary on Walter Benjamin's posthumous fragment titled "Kapitalismus als Religion". What sets it apart is its incorporation of edited-out snippets, as well as reading the posthumos fragment as the Ariadne thread in Benjamin's body of work. This exploration revisits pivotal texts like Kritik zur Gewalt, Trauerspielbuch, and Passagen-Werk. Within this framework, the aim is to delineate the specificity of Protestantism in the genesis of capitalist religion. It also aims to showcase Benjamin's affinity with Marx, stemming from his divergence from Luther. Most notably, the focus lies not just on the pivotal role of Protestantism in Benjamin's interpretation but also on the groundbreaking nature of capitalist religion: God isn't deceased; rather, God, traditionally forgiving all debts without incurring any, is now burdened and accused to the point of radical concealment. God hasn't perished; instead, God has embraced indebtedness, culpability, and concealment to engender a faith that is naked, absolute, and efficacious.
