摘　　要：瓦尔特·本雅明自称为"文学批评家",纳入他批评视域的"文本"是整个"自然之书"。注目于巴黎拱廊街这一意象,本雅明审视了现代社会的"真实":人与人、人与自然的亲密关系在技术的控制下演变成人与物的关系,个体的痕迹消隐于大众。因此,他反对将历史理解为线性发展的过程,反对将技术进步理解为社会进步,意图在对技术的反思中将现实解构为废墟,而后在瓦砾与碎石上重建人类获救的天国。本雅明对人类历史发展的思考、对知识与真理的质疑为我们提供了智者的启迪,他的提问与设想为我们的思索拓展了空间。Walter Benjamin called himself a critic of literature, but the text which was brought into his critical vision is the text of nature. By focusing on the arcades in Paris, Benjamin gained insights into the reality of modern society. In Benjamin' s eyes, intimate relationship between people as well as between human and nature turned into the connection of human and objects in modern world. And the traces of individuals disappeared in the masses. Benjamin believed that the gloomy reality was caused by technology. He didn' t think history would be a process of linear development and argued against the opinion that technological progress was social progress. After contemplating on technology, Benjamin wanted to deconstruct the reality into relic and then rebuild a new whole world. On many issues, Benjamin gives us illuminations just like his thought about the progress of history and his question of knowledge or truth do. His question and conception help us expand thinking space.
