书籍简介/Book Description

本书收集了备受赞誉的意大利哲学家乔吉奥乔·阿甘本（Giorgio Agamben）在20多年时间里写的15篇主要哲学论文。本书以导言开篇，编辑在导言中把阿甘本的工作与哲学史和当代欧洲思想联系起来。接下来的文章阐述了一系列与哲学史、政治和批评史上的特权人物的理论对抗，从柏拉图到斯宾诺莎，从亚里士多德到德勒兹，从卡尔·施密特到本雅明，从黑格尔到阿比·沃伯格，以及从海德格尔到德里达。

三个基本概念将这套书组织成一个整体：语言，不是指特定的陈述，而是指语言的发生，即语言存在的纯粹事实；历史，从传统、传播和记忆达到其救世主式的实现的角度来看；以及潜力，被理解为形而上学、伦理学和语言哲学的一个基本问题。所有这些主题在本书的最后部分汇聚在一起，其中阿甘本对梅尔维尔的短篇小说《斯克里夫的巴特比》进行了广泛的解读，将潜力和现实性、可能性和现实放在一个全新的角度。

This book collects fifteen major philosophical essays written over a period of more than twenty years by acclaimed Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. The volume opens with an introduction in which the editor situates Agamben's work with respect to both the history of philosophy and contemporary European thought. The essays that follow articulate a series of theoretical confrontations with privileged figures in the history of philosophy, politics, and criticism, from Plato to Spinoza, Aristotle to Deleuze, Carl Schmitt to Benjamin, Hegel to Aby Warburg, and Heidegger to Derrida.

Three fundamental concepts organize the collection as a whole: language, in the sense not of particular statements but rather the very taking place of speech, the pure fact of language's existence; history, as it appears from a perspective in which tradition, transmission, and memory reach their messianic fulfillment; and potentiality, understood as a fundamental problem of metaphysics, ethics, and the philosophy of language. All these topics converge in the final part of the book, in which Agamben offers an extensive reading of Melville's short story "Bartleby the Scrivener" as a work that puts potentiality and actuality, possibility and reality, in an altogether new light.

媒体推荐/Comments

"Agamben has been attracting attention recently in the English-speaking world, thanks to the increasing availability of his work in translation. This volume is indicative of Agamben's broad range of interests. . . . Despite this range of interests, however, a sustained commitment to certain theoretical issues―particularly language and history―lends the volume a coherence. . . . Daniel Heller-Roazen's introduction does a nice job of outlining the philosophical program that motivates these essays, and his translation in general is to be commended for its elegance. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers."
