ABSTRACT
The concept of justice is characterized vaguely as referring to something absolutely singular that cannot be universalized. This chapter presents that Water Benjamin's work should be seen as the record of a series of intellectual experiments. As far as the nature of these experiments is concerned, the aim of all of them is to find the most consistent and convincing model of just messianic action, which is directed against myth and brings redemption to its singular object and hence establishes its singular subject. Benjamin points out that these means do not include the practice of contracts, because violence is their source, sanction and the inevitable effect. It is worth noting that when Benjamin defines the liberating action as means, he characterizes it as non-violent; when he defines them as a kind of violence, he declares that they are not means at all. Benjamin's philosophy of language is consistent only where it refers to the world affected by the fall.
