Description

Ype de Boer invites you to rethink what you know about the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben.

In a compelling and original argument, De Boer contends that, in the work of Agamben, ethics takes primacy over politics. Presenting a careful evaluation of Agamben's overlooked contribution to ethics, this book explores his enigmatic yet central concept of the happy life'.

By reading Agamben's philosophy in terms of a poetico-philosophical experiment' a term coined by the Italian philosopher himself, and one through which he questions our very mode of existence De Boer assesses the variety of ethical paradigms that Agamben's work offers. This not only challenges the widespread misconception of Agamben as the dark prophet' known for his pessimistic, even nihilistic political critiques, but reveals how understanding the various facets of the happy life' allows for a better appreciation of his attacks on the ethico-political condition.
