Philosopher
Philosopher of biopolitics and law — Italy
IUAV University of Venice (emeritus) · Italy · d. 22 April 1942
The Italian philosopher who reframed political philosophy through the concepts of sovereignty, the state of exception and 'bare life'.
Eight books published or due between now and the end of December, none of them covered in this week's two surveys. Read together, they show a discipline that has stopped asking whether machines can think and started asking what thinking is worth — and a logic revival almost nobody has noticed.
Byung-Chul Han, Giorgio Agamben, David Chalmers
The notes Giorgio Agamben took at Heidegger's Le Thor seminars in Provence in 1966 and 1968 have appeared as 'The Time of Thinking'. Zone Books has also reissued the philosopher's collection 'Profanations'.
Giorgio Agamben
Giorgio Agamben on the entanglement of time, language and history in Western culture: chronology as a theological incursion into history, eschatology and the doctrine of the Antichrist, the Roman mundus as a threshold between past and present, and the distinction between chronos and kairos. Due 15 October 2026, 182 pages.
