Abstract

This article aims to investigate how Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida interpret the concepts of identity, justice and history. It is also important to analyze how, in the view of these authors, these concepts are related and how these two interpretations are similar or different. It is from this work on the limits that these authors seem to develop their main theses and it is on this point that this article try to open new questions and try to find new ways to think about those concepts pointed out in the beginning of this abstract.
