Résumé
Andrew Benjamin (born 1952, Australia) is an Australian philosopher. He holds a post as distinguished professor at the University of Technology, Sydney. Benjamin first came to critical attention with his writings in continental philosophy, writing articles and editing books on the thinking of Martin Heidegger, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Julia Kristeva and Jean-François Lyotard. Benjamin has become involved in the field of architecture, to the extent that he has also taught in various schools of architecture in UK, US and Australia.

Benjamin's career began as a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Warwick, UK, where he was later professor of philosophy and director of the Centre for Research in Philosophy and Literature at the same university. He has also been visiting professor of architectural theory at Columbia University, New York, US, visiting critic at the Architectural Association in London, UK, and professor of critical theory in the Centre for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies at Monash University and at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. He is recurrent visiting professor at the Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London. Benjamin is a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
Benjamin's writings on architecture – for instance the early essay "Eisenman and the Housing of Tradition" (Art, Mimesis and the Avant-Garde, 1991) – have started from the premise that architecture is a critical activity not a synonym for building, or as he argued in his book Architectural Philosophy (2000) a virtuality not merely an actuality. The theoretical basis for such a position is the so-called linguistic turn in philosophy, seeing language as constructing reality. "Philosophy can never be free of architecture", so he argues, finding architectural metaphors pervading philosophy in terms of foundations and edifices.
