Popis: According to Benjamin, messianism is a historiographical question, which is concerned with the way of writing history. In order to be a historian, it is necessary not only science but also memory, e. g. the capability to transform the past so that people, who die without realising their hopes, are given a chance of salvation and redemption. Messianism means that the historical materialist has to use the concept of a present which is not a transition, in which time originates and has come to a standstill, e. g. a concept of a present which breaks historical time and suspends domination in order to open up the prospect of a revolutionary future.
