Pablo Oyarzun is one of the foremost Benjamin scholars in Latin America. His writings have shaped the reception of Benjamins work in Latin America and have been central to the effort to identify the tasks and responsibilities of the kind of critical theory that would interrupt social violence.

In this book Oyarzun examines some of the key concepts in Benjamins work  including his concepts of translation, experience, history and storytelling  and relates them to his own systematic reflection on the nature and implications of doing justice. What is meant by the words justice was done? The passive voice is important here. On the one hand, justice does nothing: it is not an agent, it can only prevail or fail, and if it fails, it does so without limit. On the other hand, the passive voice alludes to the agents of an action while covering them up  the allusion is the masking of the identity and traces of the person who accomplishes the action. And this cover-up can be dangerous: it can cover-up the executioners, who are subjects that everyone can confirm anonymously, without their being recognized and without their wanting to be recognized. Justice, argues Oyarzun, can only be done in the active effort to do justice  or, as Benjamin would say, in the striving to turn the world into the highest good.

This book by one of Chiles most distinguished philosophers will be of value to anyone interested in Benjamins work and in the development of critical theory in Latin America.
