Product details

"Homo Sacer" by Giorgio Agamben is a profound work that engages with the archaic Roman legal figure of the homo sacer. This figure symbolizes a person who can be killed without punishment but cannot be sacrificed, rendering them both cursed and sanctified. Agamben develops, drawing on Foucault, the thesis that biopolitics elevates bare life to the central subject of modernity. Through the analysis of Carl Schmitt's concept of sovereignty, he interprets the concentration camp as the "nomos of modernity," where the boundaries between right and wrong, life and death blur. Agamben demonstrates that the reality of the homo sacer is not only historical but also manifests in the present, for instance, in the case of refugees. This book stimulates a comprehensive discussion about the conditions of life and the role of law in modern society.
