Rapidly becoming one of the most celebrated and controversial contemporary thinkers, Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben uses his ideas about ontology - the philosophy of being - as a foundation for his political theory. This book looks at Agamben's entire corpus of political thought.
Tracing how the logic of inoperativity works in the domains of language, law, history and humanity, Agamben and Politics systematically introduces the fundamental concepts of Agamben''s political thought and a critically interprets his insights in the wider context of contemporary philosophy.
Agamben''s commentators and critics tend to focus on his powerful critique of the Western political tradition in the Homo Sacer series. But this narrow focus serves to obscure the overall structure of Agamben''s political thought, which is neither negative nor critical but affirmative. Sergei Prozorov brings out the affirmative mood of Agamben''s political thought, focusing on the concept of inoperativity, which has been central to Agamben''s work from his earliest writings.
