"What Is an Apparatus?" and Other Essays by Giorgio Agamben
The three essays collected in this book offer a succinct introduction to Agamben's recent work through an investigation of Foucault's notion of apparatus, a meditation on the intimate link of philosophy to friendship, and a reflection on the singular relation with one's own time that we call contemporariness.
"What is remarkable about Agamben's claim is the range of cultural practices that it incorporates. . A rigorous engagement with these experiential elements, grounded in rigorous historical, technical, and theoretical methods."—Seb Franklin, Popular Culture
