Italian philosophical and political thought has been receiving
ever-growing attention in international debates. This has mainly
been driven by the revival of the Italian neo- and post-Marxist
tradition and of the Italian interpretation of French Theory, in
particular of Foucault's biopolitics. So, is it now possible to
speak of an 'Italian Theory' or an 'Italian difference' in the
context of philosophical and political thought? This book collects
together leading names in Italian critical thought to examine the
significant contributions that they are giving to contemporary
political debates. The first part of the book draws a possible
genealogy of the so-called 'Italian Theory', questioning the
possibility of grouping together many authors, and political and
theoretical approaches which are often reciprocally in conflict.
The second part of the book presents certain categories that have
become characteristic of Italian Thought for their original
interpretation and use by some of the authors recognized as part of
the Italian Theory tradition, from biopolitics and political
theology to crisis and immanence.

The issue of debt and how it affects our lives is becoming more and
more urgent. The "Austerity" model has been the prevalent European
economic policies of recent years led by the "German model".
Elettra Stimilli draws upon contemporary philosophy, psychology and
theology to argue that austerity is built on the idea that we
somehow deserve to be punished and need to experience guilt in
order to take full account of our economic sins. Following thinkers
such as Max Weber, Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault, Debt and
Guilt provides a startling examination of the relationship between
contemporary politics and economics and how we structure our inner
lives. The first English translation of Debito e Colpa, this book
provokes new ways of thinking about how we experience both debt and
guilt in contemporary society.
