Giorgio Agamben is one of the most important and controversial figures in contemporary continental philosophy and critical theory. His work covers a broad array of topics from biblical criticism to Guantanamo Bay and the ‘war on terror’.
Alex Murray explains Agamben’s key ideas, including:
-
- an overview of his work from first publication to the present
- clear analysis of Agamben’s philosophy of language and life
- theories of ethics and ‘witnessing’
- the relationship between Agamben’s political writing and his work on aesthetics and poetics.
-
Investigating the relationship between politics, language, literature, aesthetics and ethics, this guide is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the complex nature of modern political and cultural formations.
