Trade ReviewThis 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.
