GIORGIO AGAMBEN
Giorgio Agamben is one of the most important and controversial figures in contemporary Continental philosophy and critical theory. His work covers a broad array of topics from biblical criticism to Guantnamo Bay and the War on Terror.
Alex Murray explains Agambens key ideas, including:
an overview of his work from first publication to the present
clear analysis of Agambens philosophy of language and life
theories of ethics and witnessing
the relationship between Agambens political writing and his work on aesthetics and poetics.
Investigating the relationship between politics, language, literature, aesthetics and ethics, this guide is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the complex nature of modern political and cultural formations.
Alex Murray is lecturer at the Department of English, University of Exeter. He has published widely on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature and philosophy. He is a founding editor of Parrhesia: A Journal of Critical Philosophy.

The books in this series offer introductions to major critical thinkers who have influenced literary studies and the humanities. The Routledge Critical Thinkers series provides the books you can turn to first when a new name or concept appears in your studies.
Each book will equip you to approach a key thinkers original texts by explaining their key ideas, putting them into context and, perhaps most importantly, showing you why this thinker is considered to be significant. The emphasis is on concise, clearly written guides which do not presuppose a specialist knowledge. Although the focus is on particular figures, the series stresses that no critical thinker ever existed in a vacuum but, instead, emerged from a broader intellectual, cultural and social history. Finally, these books will act as a bridge between you and the thinkers original texts: not replacing them but rather complementing what they wrote. In some cases, volumes consider small clusters of thinkers, working in the same area, developing similar ideas or influencing each other.
These books are necessary for a number of reasons. In his 1997 autobiography, Not Entitled, the literary critic Frank Kermode wrote of a time in the 1960s:
On beautiful summer lawns, young people lay together all night, recovering from their daytime exertions and listening to a troupe of Balinese musicians. Under their blankets or their sleeping bags, they would chat drowsily about the gurus of the time What they repeated was largely hearsay; hence my lunchtime suggestion, quite impromptu, for a series of short, very cheap books offering authoritative but intelligible introductions to such figures.
There is still a need for authoritative and intelligible introductions. But this series reflects a different world from the 1960s. New thinkers have emerged and the reputations of others have risen and fallen, as new research has developed. New methodologies and challenging ideas have spread through the arts and humanities. The study of literature is no longer if it ever was simply the study and evaluation of poems, novels and plays. It is also the study of ideas, issues and difficulties which arise in any literary text and in its interpretation. Other arts and humanities subjects have changed in analogous ways.
