      • 224pagine
      • 8 ore di lettura

      Exploring Agamben's political philosophy, this work reframes his ideas as fundamentally redemptive rather than pessimistic. Jessica Whyte analyzes his critique of biopolitics, human rights, and the normalization of the state of exception, emphasizing how these contemporary catastrophes reveal opportunities for profane redemption. She delves into the significance of potentiality in his vision for new political forms and examines his connections to messianic traditions, ultimately presenting Agamben's thought as a catalyst for innovative political praxis in today's commodity culture.
