Di una cosa la parola e il pensiero hanno bisogno: che lo spazio per riceverli sia sgombro, che non vi siano muri e ostacoli che impediscano l’accesso. Ma questa è appunto la cosa più difficile e rara, perché la mente degli uomini è sempre ingombra e come murata. I testi qui raccolti, che erano stati pubblicati separatamente in tre libri, sono altrettanti esercizi di sgombero, di far posto. È possibi...

Questo libro non assomiglia a nessuno dei libri che l'autore ha finora pubblicato. Si tratta di parole ultime o penultime, vergate in fretta, come da chi prende appunti per il suo testamento, ma si accorge alla fine di non avere eredi. La sua vita è passata in un lampo e lo squarcio di luce ha lasciato vedere ben poco. Che cosa ha visto in quel lampo, a che cosa è rimasto fedele, che cosa resta dei luoghi, degli incontri, degl...

Siamo cosí abituati a distinguere fra il possibile e il reale, fra essenza ed esistenza che non ci rendiamo conto che queste distinzioni che ci paiono così ovvie sono il risultato di un lungo e laborioso processo, che ha portato a scindere l'essere, la «cosa» del pensiero, in due frammenti insieme opposti e intimamente intrecciati. In ogni caso l'ipotesi di questo libro è che la macchina ontologico-politica ...

What is at stake in that form of inquiry which the Western philosophical tradition has called first philosophy or metaphysics? Is this an abstract, now outmoded branch of philosophy, or does it address a problem that is still of great interest ‿ namely, the unity of Western knowledge? In fact, metaphysics is ‿first‿ only in relation to the other two sciences that Aristotle called theoretical: physics and mathematics. It is the strategic sense ...

A brief study of select Western art from Italy's foremost philosopher. In Renaissance palaces, the studiolo was a small room to which the prince withdrew to meditate or read, surrounded by paintings he particularly loved. This book is a kind of studiolo for its author, Giorgio Agamben, as he turns his philosophical lens on the world of Western art. Studiolo is a fascinating take on a selection of artworks created over millennia, some are easil...

In a tour-de-force reinterpretation of the Christian tradition, Agamben shows that the Garden of Eden has always served as a symbol for humanity's true nature. What happened to paradise after Adam and Eve were expelled? The question may sound like a theological quibble, or even a joke, but in The Kingdom and the Garden, Giorgio Agamben uses it as a starting point for an investigation of human nature and the prospects for political transformati...

An engaging collection of late-life reflections and quick thoughts, a book unlike any other Agamben book. What can the senses of an attentive philosopher see, hear, and learn that can, in turn, teach us about living better lives? Perhaps it's less a matter of asking what and more a matter of asking how. These latest reflections from Italy's foremost philosopher form a sort of travelogue that chronicles Giorgio Agamben's profound interior journ...

Giorgio Agamben tackles our crisis-ridden world in a series of powerful philosophical essays.   “Which house is burning?� asks Giorgio Agamben. “The country where you live, or Europe, or the whole world? Perhaps the houses, the cities have already burnt down‿who knows how long ago?‿in a single immense blaze that we pretended not to see.� In this collection of four luminous, lyrical essays, Agamben brings his characteristic combina...

A richly illustrated analysis from one of Europe‿s greatest living philosophers.   In Pinocchio, Giorgio Agamben turns his keen philosopher‿s eye to the famous nineteenth-century novel by Carlo Collodi. To Agamben, Pinocchio‿s adventures are a kind of initiation into life itself. Like us, the mischievous puppet is caught between two worlds. He is faced with the alternatives of submitting to authority or of carrying on, stubbornly indulging his...

In questa nuova edizione, che contiene un numero di testi quasi raddoppiato rispetto alla precedente, Agamben ha raccolto tutti i suoi interventi sull'emergenza politico-sanitaria che stiamo attraversando. Al di là di denunce e descrizioni puntuali, i testi propongono in varia forma una riflessione sulla Grande Trasformazione in corso nelle democrazie occidentali. In nome della biosicurezza e della salute, il modello delle democrazie...

Agambens Buch >Die kommende Gemeinschaft<, 1990 bei Giulio Einaudi erschienen, war der Versuch, mittels einer Retraktation seiner bisherigen Schriften auf die die trägen 1980er Jahre abrupt beendenden »Ereignisse« vom Tiananmen zu reagieren. Exakt dreißig Jahre und neun Homo-sacer-Bände später erschien im Jahr 2020 mit >Quando la casa brucia< eine zweite, ebenso hochverdichtete Summe seines Denkens. Auf vier Abschnitte verteilt handeln knapp ...
