Content:
A critical guide to the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben, organised around the philosophers and thinkers he draws on and critiquesOne 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 FeaturesProvides a thorough overview of Agamben’s philosophyOffers 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 themUncovers 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 ContributorsMathew Abbott • Jussi Backman • Paolo Bartoloni • Jeffrey Bernstein • Mårten Björk • Susan Brophy • Virgil Brower • Claire Colebrook • Colby Dickinson • Ingrid Diran • Adi Efal-Lautenschläger • Alysia Garrison • John Grumley • Christian Grünnagel • Nadine Hartmann • Ted Jennings • Adam Kotsko • Vanessa Lemm • Beatrice Marovich • Dave Mesing • Julia Ng • Mika Ojakangas • Sergei Prozorov • Frances Restuccia • Carlo Salzani • Anke Snoek • Jessica Whyte • Henrik Wilberg
