Abstract
The link between art and philosophy persists in Walter Benjamin`s writings, it is a link never foreign to religious, political and historical considerations, because Art and Philosophy are ways of expression in historical becoming. Precisely, the statements on language made by this philosopher work as a starting point to consider artistic matters This paper will show how in “On Language as Such and on the Language of Man”, are prefigured the relationships between language, art and history which will be developed in “The Origin of Germanic Tragic Drama” and that will lead to the research about allegory a s an alternative resource to the symbol and having theoretical value to the study of artworks.Downloads
