STASIS: Civil War as a Political Paradigm by Giorgio Agamben (English) Hardcover

Description: STASIS by Giorgio Agamben, Nicholas Heron Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Giorgio Agamben investigates two founding moments in the formation of European power in its struggle with its most dangerous enemy: civil war. Publisher Description Giorgio Agamben investigates the ongoing warfare that European state power has been waging against its most malignant enemy: civil war itself. The survival of the state is seen to depend on its ability to preserve the political community from factional enmity. Agamben investigates first the classical Athenian theme of stasis the citys struggle against internal revolt. He then turns to a new reading of Hobbes Leviathan and its approach to the peril of the early modern English Commonwealths exposure to civil strife, division and revolution. At the heart of this book is the issue of state powers in their continuous decline an issue that is key to the renewal of political, philosophical and legal thought. Author Biography Giorgio Agamben, an Italian philosopher, is one of the most renowned thinkers of our time. He taught at the IUAV University in Venice, Italy, and holds the Baruch Spinoza Chair at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Wallis, Switzerland. He previously taught at the College International de Philosophie in Paris and at the University of Macerata in Italy. He is best known for his Homo Sacer series of publications interrogating the ideas of totalitarianism and biopolitics. Nicholas Heron is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Centre for the History of European Discourses at the University of Queensland.
