Use of Bodies - Agamben Giorgio
Giorgio Agamben's Homo Sacer was one of the seminal works of political philosophy in recent decades. It comprises three major sections. It was also the beginning of a series of interconnected investigations of staggering ambition and scope, investigating the deepest foundations of Western politics and thought.The Use of Bodies represents the ninth and final volume in this twenty-year undertaking, breaking considerable new ground while clarifying the stakes and implications of the project as a whole.
Interwoven between these major sections The first uses Aristotle's discussion of slavery as a starting point for radically rethinking notions of selfhood; the second calls for a complete reworking of Western ontology; and the third explores the enigmatic concept of form-of-life, which is in many ways the motivating force behind the entire Homo Sacer project.
