The Agamben Dictionary cover

In recent years Agamben's work has gained prominence for its incisive critique of the Western political tradition. Yet this has often resulted in a selective reading of his broad body of work, rather than one that addresses it as a complex whole. The Agamben Dictionary has brought together leading and emerging scholars from across the world to provide this essential overview of his work.

This is not yet another dictionary listing keywords so as to provide quick access to a philosopher's work. Rather it is a dictionary that justifies its form by referring to Giorgio Agamben's own idea of language. -- Alexander Garcia Duttmann, Goldsmiths, University of London This is not yet another dictionary listing keywords so as to provide quick access to a philosopher's work. Rather it is a dictionary that justifies its form by referring to Giorgio Agamben's own idea of language.
