This is a critical introduction to Giorgio Agamben's political
thought that highlights its affirmative dimension. Rapidly becoming
one of the most celebrated and controversial contemporary thinkers,
Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben has made an original
contribution to 'first-philosophical' debates. He uses his ideas
about ontology - the philosophy of being - as a foundation for his
political theory. Sergei Prozorov looks at Agamben's entire corpus
of political thought in this systematic and critical introduction
to his fundamental concepts. He pulls out the concept of
'inoperativity' as central to Agamben's work from his earliest
writings and shows how this concept works in the domains of
language, law, history and humanity. This is the first critical
introduction to focus on Agamben's political thought. It shows
Agamben's political thought to be primarily affirmative rather than
critical. It reads Agamben's politics in the context of his first
philosophical works on ontology and ethics. It covers all of
Agamben's published work, introducing the full variety of themes
and concepts he addresses.
