This book collects new contributions from an international group of
leading scholars - including many who have worked closely with
Agamben - to consider the impact of Agamben's thought on research
in the humanities and social sciences. Giorgio Agamben: Legal,
Political and Philosophical Perspectives addresses the potential of
Agamben's thought by re-focusing attention away from his critiques
of Western politics and towards his scheme for a political future.
Part I of the book draws upon a wide range of issues such as legal
oaths, legal reasoning and Christian conceptions of love in order
to examine the potential for Agamben's work to impact upon future
legal scholarship. Part II focuses on political perspectives that
include references to Marx, Rousseau and Agamben's conception of
the 'messianic'. Theology, biology, and the thought of Gilles
Deleuze, Walter Benjamin and Antonin Artaud are all drawn upon in
Part III to explore philosophical perspectives in Agamben's
thought. This book demonstrates the importance and originality of
Giorgio Agamben, who has articulated a vision of politics that must
be recognised as an influential contribution to modern
philosophical and political thinking. It is a book that will be of
considerable interest to many working across the humanities and
social sciences.
