The work of Giorgio Agamben, one of the world's most important
living philosophers, has been the object of much scrutiny. Yet,
there is one dimension of his thought that remains unexamined by
scholars: the presence of the ancient science of astrology in his
writings. This book, the first of its kind, identifies the
astrological elements and explains the implications of their usage
by Agamben. In so doing, this study challenges us to imagine
Agamben's thought in a radically new light. A critical account of
the presence of astrology and related themes in Agamben's writings,
ranging from the earlier works to the more recent publications,
illustrates that the astrological signature constitutes a mode of
philosophical archaeology that allows for an enhanced understanding
of concepts that are central to his works, such as potentiality,
the signature, bare life and biopolitics.
