Giorgio Agamben: Homo Sacer and State of Exception
From Epoch Philosophy’s Podcast series (22 August 2024)
This episode discusses the hidden paradigm of power and exclusion, as identified by Giorgio Agamben. Where does the true nature of rule reside? Within the codified laws of a society, or in the exceptions to them? Drawing on Agamben’s “Homo Sacer” and “State of Exception,” the discussion attempts to answer these questions.
Book reviews for Giorgio Agamben’s “Homo Sacer” and “State of Exception”, can be found here and here.
