Since the publication of Homo Sacer in 1995, Giorgio Agamben has
become one of the world's most revered and controversial thinkers.
His ideas on our current political situation have found supporters
and enemies in almost equal measure. His wider thoughts on topics
such as language, potentiality, life, law, messianism and
aesthetics have had significant impact on such diverse fields as
philosophy, law, theology, history, sociology, cultural studies and
literary studies. Yet although Agamben is much read, his work has
also often been misunderstood. This book is the first to fully take
into account Agamben's important recent publications, which clarify
his method, complete his ideas on power, and finally reveal the
role of language in his overall system. William Watkin presents a
critical overview of Agamben's work that, through the lens of
indifference, aims to give a portrait of exactly why this thinker
of indifferent and suspensive legal, political, ontological and
living states can rightfully be considered one of the most
important philosophers in the world today.
