The Relationship Between Art & Politics: Martin Heidegger and Walter Benjamin.

Abstract: (5 pp). When asked in an interview (Kreisler 2000), what is important about politics, John Tussman said that, "politics is the art of providing for the general welfare; and in principle is not competitive." However the "reality of what is happening now", according to Tussman is that politics is about "advantage and power." Although each person, political or not, has their own sense of reality, it is connection between art and politics that we will be examining in this discussion of two twentieth century philosophers. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
