Full Description
Introduces Agamben as an existentialist figure who takes the philosophy in a startling new direction
Reveals the atheistic underbelly of Agamben's political theology
Opens new avenues of study by challenging Carl Schmitt's appropriation of existentialism
Contributors include Vanessa Lemm, Beatrice Marovich, Tom Frost and Lucas Lazzaretti
While Giorgio Agamben's work has not previously been categorised as existentialist, his work creatively repackages important existentialist themes in a politico-theological context. Divided into three sections 'Agamben and the Sovereign Exception', 'Agamben and the Death of God' and 'Existentialist Themes in Agamben' this collection challenges, complicates and reimagines Agamben's critique of the sovereign exception and other existentialist themes including feminism and postcolonialism.
