Description
Giorgio Agamben's latest work, The Use of Bodies, represents the culmination of his twenty-year project to re-examine the foundations of Western politics and thought. This comprehensive volume comprises three major sections, each tackling fundamental questions about selfhood, ontology, and the concept of "form-of-life." Through a nuanced exploration of these ideas, Agamben seeks to break through the impasses of traditional Western philosophy. The book weaves together shorter reflections on key thinkers with more extensive examinations of Aristotle's discussion of slavery, the reworking of Western ontology, and the enigmatic concept of "form-of-life." The result is a work that not only clarifies the stakes and implications of Agamben's project but also pushes toward a new approach to political life.
