Routledge Critical Thinkers

by Alex Murray, فرهاد اکبرزاده (Translator)

Giorgio Agamben is one of the most important and controversial figures in contemporary continental philosophy and critical theory. His work covers a broad array of topics from biblical criticism to Guantanamo Bay and the 'war on terror'.

Alex Murray explains Agamben's key ideas, including:

an overview of his work from first publication to the present clear analysis of Agamben's philosophy of language and life theories of ethics and 'witnessing' the relationship between Agamben's political writing and his work on aesthetics and poetics. Investigating the relationship between politics, language, literature, aesthetics and ethics, this guide is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the complex nature of modern political and cultural formations.

A good introduction to Agamben, explaining and connecting his different works on language, poetry, cinema, politics etcetera. A bit difficult at times when discussing Heidegger and Benjamin, but inspired me to read the Homo Sacer series.

အဂမ်ဘမ်နိဒါန်းတွေထဲ ဖတ်ရအလွယ်ဆုံးပါ။
အဂမ်ဘမ်နဲ့ပတ်သက်ပီး ဖတ်မယ်ဆို ပထမဆုံးစဖတ်သင့်တဲ့စာအုပ်လို့ပဲ ပြောချင်ပါတယ်။
