The present research proposes an investigation on the question of “presentation” [Darstellung] in the philosophical discourse. Walter Benjamin highlights the centrality of the presentation in the construction of philosophical thought, notably in the “Epistemo-Critcal Prologue” of his work The Origin of German Tragic Drama [Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels] written in 1925. The importance conferred by the philosopher on the issue of presentation is related to how Benjamin constructs his philosophy from a rescue of the linguistic essence of philosophical thought: for Benjamin, philosophical thinking is elaborated within language as a practice of the form in presentation. When we consider the deep relationship between thought and language as the starting point for philosophizing, the form of presentation carries out an indispensable reflexive movement in the configuration of philosophical thought. In this sense, the questions of philosophical writing become fundamental and, in turn, lead to the thresholds between philosophy and literature. The question of presentation characterizes the way in which the philosopher understands philosophical practice, philosophy as the practice of presentation claims the historical and linguistic nature of philosophical thought, and requires that philosophical thought should be attentive to the historicity of language and the materiality of words. The presentation as a main characteristic of philosophy points out, through Benjamin, the possibility of a different way in philosophy from that one traced by the tradition of the philosophy of representation. For this reason, we propose a course to show the opposed sense of presentation [Darstellung] and representation [Vorstellung], as necessary in the attempt to comprehend the question of presentation in Benjamin. Thus, we argue, throughout this thesis, how presentation operates a defense of the linguistic character of philosophical thought, as well as a rehabilitation of the historical and aesthetic dimensions in philosophy.
