書籍簡介/Book De*ion

本書收集了備受讚譽的意大利哲學家喬吉奧喬·阿甘本（Giorgio Agamben）在20多年時間裏寫的15篇主要哲學論文。本書以導言開篇，編輯在導言中把阿甘本的工作與哲學史和當代歐洲思想聯繫起來。接下來的文章闡述了一系列與哲學史、政治和批評史上的特權人物的理論對抗，從柏拉圖到斯賓諾莎，從亞里士多德到德勒茲，從卡爾·施密特到本雅明，從黑格爾到阿比·沃伯格，以及從海德格爾到德里達。

三個基本概念將這套書組織成一個整體：語言，不是指特定的陳述，而是指語言的發生，即語言存在的純粹事實；歷史，從傳統、傳播和記憶達到其救世主式的實現的角度來看；以及潛力，被理解為形而上學、倫理學和語言哲學的一個基本問題。所有這些主題在本書的最後部分匯聚在一起，其中阿甘本對梅爾維爾的短篇小説《斯克裏夫的巴特比》進行了廣泛的解讀，將潛力和現實性、可能性和現實放在一個全新的角度。

This book collects fifteen major philosophical essays written over a period of more than twenty years by acclaimed Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. The volume opens with an introduction in which the editor situates Agamben's work with respect to both the history of philosophy and contemporary European thought. The essays that follow articulate a series of theoretical confrontations with privileged figures in the history of philosophy, politics, and criticism, from Plato to Spinoza, Aristotle to Deleuze, Carl Schmitt to Benjamin, Hegel to Aby Warburg, and Heidegger to Derrida.

Three fundamental concepts organize the collection as a whole: language, in the sense not of particular statements but rather the very taking place of speech, the pure fact of language's existence; history, as it appears from a perspective in which tradition, transmission, and memory reach their messianic fulfillment; and potentiality, understood as a fundamental problem of metaphysics, ethics, and the philosophy of language. All these topics converge in the final part of the book, in which Agamben offers an extensive reading of Melville's short story "Bartleby the Scrivener" as a work that puts potentiality and actuality, possibility and reality, in an altogether new light.

媒體推薦/Comments

"Agamben has been attracting attention recently in the English-speaking world, thanks to the increasing availability of his work in translation. This volume is indicative of Agamben's broad range of interests. . . . Despite this range of interests, however, a sustained commitment to certain theoretical issues―particularly language and history―lends the volume a coherence. . . . Daniel Heller-Roazen's introduction does a nice job of outlining the philosophical program that motivates these essays, and his translation in general is to be commended for its elegance. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers."
