Trade Review
"Through the combination of biographical research and textual analysis of Giorgio Agamben's work a picture emerges of a life infused and transformed by philosophy . . . Kishik's work is an insightful and engaging companion to Agamben's lifework." -- J. Paetkau * Useful Illusions *
"An outstanding piece of work." -- Simon Critchley * New School for Social Research *
"Combining novel biographical research with lucid textual analysis, Kishik's illuminating The Power of Life shows the reader how Agamben's work can help us to imagine new forms of life and radically transform philosophical thought and practice. His reading of Agamben is precise and informative, and I can think of no better or more reliable guide for working through Agamben's complex writings." -- Matthew Calarco, California State University * Fullerton *
