Description

Requiring no prior knowledge of the series, Colby Dickinson provides a guide to understanding why Agamben’s Homer Sacer series is one of the most significant philosophical texts of the past century. He explores key concepts including sovereignty, potentiality, form-of-life, the state of exception, inoperativity, glory and the messianic as they appear and reappear throughout the series.
