Agamben's Philosophical Lineage (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Kotsko, Adam; Salzani, Carlo

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A critical guide to the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben, organised around the philosophers and thinkers he draws on 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. Looking at figures including Michel Foucault, St Paul, Nietzsche, the Marquis de Sade, Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt, this one-stop reference to Agamben's influences covers 30 thinkers: his primary interlocutors, his secondary references, and the figures who lurk in the background of his arguments without being directly mentioned.

Key Features

• Provides a thorough overview of Agamben's philosophy
• Offers a guide to Agamben's reading of the figure under discussion and encourages you to come to your own conclusion about Agamben's relation to them
• Uncovers the often 'unsaid' or hidden origins of his philosophy
• Figures discussed include Michel Foucault, St Paul, Nietzsche, Marquis de Sade, Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt
