What does it mean to be responsible for our actions? In this brief
and elegant study, Giorgio Agamben traces our most profound moral
intuitions back to their roots in the sphere of law and punishment.
Moral accountability, human free agency, and even the very concept
of cause and effect all find their origin in the language of the
trial, which Western philosophy and theology both transform into
the paradigm for all of human life. In his search for a way out of
this destructive paradigm, Agamben not only draws on minority
opinions within the Western tradition but engages at length with
Buddhist texts and concepts for the first time. In sum, Karman
deepens and rearticulates some of Agamben's core insights while
breaking significant new ground.
