Giorgio Agamben. Esejas

Giorgio Agamben (b. 1942) is one of the most influential contemporary European philosophers and theorists of radical politics. In 1965, Agamben received his doctorate in jurisprudence and philosophy from the University of Rome. In 1966 and 1968, he attended Martin Heidegger's seminars on Heraclitus and Hegel, which motivated him to fully dedicate himself to philosophy. The central focus of Agamben's work is on questions of language and representation, history and temporality, the force of law, the politics of spectacle, and the ethos of humanity.
