Ce n’est qu’une fois rassemblés dans leur intégralité que les neuf livres qui constituent le projet Homo Sacer prennent leur véritable signification. Le jeu des renvois internes, la reprise et le développement des thèmes abordés composent une vaste architecture, articulée en quatre sections. La première dresse le programme d’une mise en question de toute la tradition politique occidentale à la lumière du concept de vie nue ou de vie sacrée : Le Pouvoir souverain et la Vie nue (Seuil, 1997) ; la seconde développe ce programme à travers une série d’enquêtes généalogiques : État d’exception (Seuil, 2003), La Guerre civile. Pour une théorie politique de la Stasis (Points Essais, 2015), Le Sacrement du langage (Vrin, 2009), Le Règne et la Gloire (Seuil, 2008), Opus Dei (Seuil, 2012) ; la troisième soumet l’éthique à l’épreuve d’Auschwitz : Ce qui reste d’Auschwitz. L’archive et le témoin (Payot-Rivages, 1999) ; la quatrième élabore les concepts essentiels pour repenser depuis le début l’histoire de la philosophie occidentale : forme de vie, désœuvrement, pouvoir destituant (De la très haute pauvreté, Payot-Rivages, 2011 ; L’Usage des corps, Seuil, 2015).L’archéologie de la politique et de la philosophie occidentale dont il est question dans le projet Homo Sacer ne se borne pas à critiquer et corriger tel ou tel concept, telle ou telle institution politique de l’Occident, mais il s’agit plutôt de remettre en cause le lieu et la structure originaire mêmes de la politique et de l’ontologie, pour révéler l’arcanum imperii – le secret du pouvoir – qui en constitue le fondement et était resté à la fois pleinement exposé et obstinément dissimulé.

The work of Giorgio Agamben, one of Italy's most important and original philosophers, has been based on an uncommon erudition in classical traditions of philosophy and rhetoric, the grammarians of late antiquity, Christian theology, and modern philosophy. Recently, Agamben has begun to direct his thinking to the constitution of the social and to some concrete, ethico-political conclusions concerning the state of society today, and the place of the individual within it. In Homo Sacer, Agamben aims to connect the problem of pure possibility, potentiality, and power with the problem of political and social ethics in a context where the latter has lost its previous religious, metaphysical, and cultural grounding. Taking his cue from Foucault's fragmentary analysis of biopolitics, Agamben probes with great breadth, intensity, and acuteness the covert or implicit presence of an idea of biopolitics in the history of traditional political theory. He argues that from the earliest treatises of political theory, notably in Aristotle's notion of man as a political animal, and throughout the history of Western thinking about sovereignty (whether of the king or the state), a notion of sovereignty as power over "life" is implicit. The reason it remains merely implicit has to do, according to Agamben, with the way the sacred, or the idea of sacrality, becomes indissociable from the idea of sovereignty. Drawing upon Carl Schmitt's idea of the sovereign's status as the exception to the rules he safeguards, and on anthropological research that reveals the close interlinking of the sacred and the taboo, Agamben defines the sacred person as one who can be killed and yet not sacrificed―a paradox he sees as operative in the status of the modern individual living in a system that exerts control over the collective "naked life" of all individuals.

Solo ora, raccolti insieme nella loro integralità, i nove libri che formano il progetto Homo sacer acquistano il loro vero significato. Il fitto gioco dei rimandi interni, la ripresa incessante e lo svolgimento dei temi di volta in volta enunciati disegnano un'architettura imponente, articolata in quattro sezioni. Nella prima viene tracciato il programma di una messa in questione dell'intera tradizione politica dell'Occidente alla luce del concetto di nuda vita o di vita sacra (Il potere sovrano e la nuda vita, 1995). Nella seconda sezione questo programma viene svolto attraverso una serie di indagini genealogiche: (Iustitium. Stato di eccezione, 2003; Stasis. La guerra civile come paradigma politico, 2015; Horkos. Il sacramento del linguaggio, 2008; Oikonomia. Il Regno e la Gloria, 2007; Opus Dei. Archeologia dell'ufficio, 2012). La terza sezione sottopone l'etica alla prova di Auschwitz (Auschwitz. L'archivio e il testimone, 1998). La quarta sezione, infine, elabora i concetti essenziali per ripensare da capo l'intera storia della filosofia: forma-di-vita, uso, inoperosità, modo, potere destituente (Altissima povertà, 2011; L'uso dei corpi, 2014). L'archeologia del pensiero politico e filosofico occidentale sviluppata nel progetto Homo sacer non si limita, infatti, semplicemente a criticare e correggere alcuni concetti o alcune istituzioni; si tratta, piuttosto, di revocare in questione il luogo e la stessa struttura originaria della politica e dell'ontologia, per portare alla luce l'arcanum imperii che ne costituisce il fondamento e che era rimasto, in esse, insieme pienamente esposto e tenacemente nascosto. In questa edizione definitiva sono stati restituiti i titoli del progetto originale e sono state inserite le integrazioni come la lunga nota sul concetto di guerra e le correzioni volute dall'autore. 2021 Pagine: 1392 p., ill. , Rilegato

Giorgio Agamben's Homo Sacer is one of the seminal works of political philosophy in recent decades. A twenty-year undertaking, this project is a series of interconnected investigations of staggering ambition and scope investigating the deepest foundations of every major Western institution and discourse. This single book brings together for the first time all nine volumes that make up this groundbreaking project. Each volume takes a seemingly obscure and outdated issue as its starting point―an enigmatic figure in Roman law, or medieval debates about God's management of creation, or theories about the origin of the oath―but is always guided by questions with urgent contemporary relevance. The Omnibus Homo Sacer includes: 1.Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life 2.1.State of Exception 2.2.Stasis: Civil War as a Political Paradigm 2.3.The Sacrament of Language: An Archeology of the Oath 2.4.The Kingdom and the Glory: For a Theological Genealogy of Economy and Glory 2.5.Opus Dei: An Archeology of Duty 3.Remnants of Auschwitz: The Witness and the Archive 4.1.The Highest Poverty: Monastic Rules and Form-of-Life 4.2.The Use of Bodies

Giorgio Agamben's Homo Sacer was one of the seminal works of political philosophy in recent decades. It was also the beginning of a series of interconnected investigations of staggering ambition and scope, investigating the deepest foundations of Western politics and thought. The Use of Bodies represents the ninth and final volume in this twenty-year undertaking, breaking considerable new ground while clarifying the stakes and implications of the project as a whole. It comprises three major sections. The first uses Aristotle's discussion of slavery as a starting point for radically rethinking notions of selfhood; the second calls for a complete reworking of Western ontology; and the third explores the enigmatic concept of "form-of-life," which is in many ways the motivating force behind the entire Homo Sacer project. Interwoven between these major sections are shorter reflections on individual thinkers (Debord, Foucault, and Heidegger), while the epilogue pushes toward a new approach to political life that breaks with the destructive deadlocks of Western thought. The Use of Bodies represents a true masterwork by one of our greatest living philosophers.

The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben is having an increasingly significant impact on Anglo-American political theory. His most prominent intervention to date is the powerful reassessment of sovereignty and the politics of life and death laid out in his multivolume Homo Sacer project. Agamben argues that in both the modern world and the ancient, politics inevitably involves a sovereign decision that bans some individuals from the political and human communities. For Agamben, the Nazi concentration camps—in which some inmates are reduced to a form of living death—are not a political aberration but instead the place where this essential political decision about life most clearly reveals itself. Engaging specifically with Homo Sacer, the essays in this collection draw out and contend with the wide-ranging implications of Agamben’s radical and controversial interpretation of modern political life.The contributors analyze Agamben’s thought from the perspectives of political theory, philosophy, jurisprudence, and the history of law. They consider his work not only in relation to that of his major interlocutors—Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, and Martin Heidegger—but also in relation to the thought of Plato, Pindar, Heraclitus, Descartes, Kafka, Bataille, and Derrida. The essayists’ approaches are varied, as are their ultimate evaluations of the cogency and accuracy of Agamben’s arguments. This volume also includes an original essay by Agamben in which he considers the relation of Benjamin’s “Critique of Violence” to Schmitt’s Political Theology. Politics, Metaphysics, and Death is a necessary, multifaceted exposition and evaluation of the thought of one of today’s most important political theorists.Contributors: Giorgio Agamben, Andrew Benjamin, Peter Fitzpatrick, Anselm Haverkamp, Paul Hegarty, Andreas Kalyvas, Rainer Maria Kiesow , Catherine Mills, Andrew Norris, Adam Thurschwell, Erik Vogt, Thomas Carl Wall

Traduit de l’italien par Martin Rueff.Si la philosophie politique ne se donne pas pour tâche de nettoyer la situation verbale, d’entreprendre une critique radicale de sa tradition et de son vocabulaire, elle se trouve dans une situation qui n’est pas sans rappeler celle que décrivait Pasolini : un homme utilise un horaire des chemins de fer périmé et s’étonne de ne pas voir passer les trains.Poursuivant l’archéologie entamée dans Le Règne et la Gloire, Giorgio Agamben mène dans ce nouvel ouvrage l’enquête sur la signature théologique des concepts cruciaux de la pensée morale et politique contemporaine. Comment penser l’action aujourd’hui? Comment articuler action et œuvre?Alors que ces questions agitent la philosophie morale, mais aussi les discussions politiques les plus vives, Giorgio Agamben se tourne vers leur passé théologique. À partir d’une archéologie de l’Opus Dei – l’Œuvre de Dieu – et de ses notions fondamentales telles que la liturgie, le sacerdoce ou l’office, le philosophe italien montre que l’Église a inventé un nouveau paradigme ontologique et pratique dans lequel l’être prescrit l’action, mais l’action définit intégralement l’être. Et ce paradigme « offert à l’action humaine s’est révélé constituer  pour la culture séculaire de l’Occident un pôle d’attraction étendu et constant ».

This is the scale, with instructions, designed for the SACERS package. SACERS is a resource for defining high-quality care and assessing levels of quality in school-age child care programmes. It consists of 49 items and is organised under seven categories.

Since the publication of Homo Sacer in 1995, Giorgio Agamben has become one of the world’s most revered and controversial thinkers. His ideas on our current political situation have found supporters and enemies in almost equal measure. His wider thoughts on topics such as language, potentiality, life, law, messianism and aesthetics have had significant impact on such diverse fields as philosophy, law, theology, history, sociology, cultural studies and literary studies.Yet although Agamben is much read, his work has also often been misunderstood. This book is the first to fully take into account Agamben’s important recent publications, which clarify his method, complete his ideas on power, and finally reveal the role of language in his overall system. William Watkin presents a critical overview of Agamben’s work that, through the lens of indifference, aims to give a portrait of exactly why this thinker of indifferent and suspensive legal, political, ontological and living states can rightfully be considered one of the most important philosophers in the world today.

Giorgio Agamben is a philosopher well known for his brilliance and erudition, as well as for the difficulty and diversity of his seventeen books. The interest which his Homo Sacer sparked in America is likely to continue to grow for a great many years to come. Giorgio Agamben: A Critical Introduction presents the complexity and continuity of Agamben's philosophy―and does so for two separate and distinct audiences. It attempts to provide readers possessing little or no familiarity with Agamben's writings with points of entry for exploring them. For those already well acquainted with Agamben's thought, it offers a critical analysis of the achievements that have marked it.
