Figure of This World: Agamben and the Question of Political Ontology

Mathew Abbott

4.9/5 (34701 ratings)

Description:What if weve been wrong when reading Agamben? Mathew Abbott argues that Agambens thought is misunderstood when read in terms of critical theory or traditional political philosophy. Instead, he shows that it engages with political ontology: studying the political stakes of the question of being. Abbot demonstrates the crucial influence of Martin Heidegger on Agambens work, locating it in the post-Heideggerian tradition of the critique of metaphysics. As he clarifies it, Abbott links Agambens philosophy with Wittgensteins picture theory and Heideggers concept of the world-picture, showing the importance of this for understanding and potentially overcoming the forms of alienation characteristic of the society of the spectacle.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
