Giorgio Agamben (eBook, PDF)

Legal, Political and Philosophical Perspectives
Redaktion: Frost, Tom

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Giorgio Agamben: Legal, Political and Philosophical Perspectives brings together contributions from scholars in a number of fields - including many who have worked closely with Agamben - in order to argue that Agamben's thought is vital to the future directions of research in the humanities and social sciences. All contributors address the potential of Agamben's thought by re-focusing attention away from his critiques of Western politics and towards his scheme for a political future. As such the book maintains that Agamben is an important and thoroughly original figure, who has articulated a vision of politics, and of community, that is both achievable and worth recognising.
