Beschreibung
'Marrying philological dexterity with analytical acumen, this volume goes a very long way to rectify the often superficial way in which the writings of Giorgio Agamben have been treated in an academic discourse where citation often replaces understanding. The editors and contributors should be commended for providing us, at last, with the intellectual instruments to critically approach Agamben's creation and destruction of a sui generis philosophical tradition. ' Alberto Toscano, Reader in Critical Theory, Goldsmiths, University of London A critical guide to the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben organised around the figures he discusses and critiques One of the greatest challenges Agamben presents to his readers is the vast and often bewildering range of sources he draws upon in his work. This volume is a one-stop reference for clarifying Agamben's relationship to the many figures he engages with. It covers his primary interlocutors and his more occasional and secondary points of reference, as well as figures who are often lurking in the background of his arguments but are seldom directly mentioned. The end result is a thorough overview of Agamben's philosophy, as illuminated by his practices of reading. Adam Kotsko is Assistant Professor of Humanities at Shimer College, Chicago. Carlo Salzani is Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the Pontificia Università Antonianum, Rome. Cover image: wall portrait of Agamben © Thierry Ehrmann.
