内容简介


Two months after the attacks of 9/11, the Bush administration, in the midst of what it perceived to be a state of emergency, authorized the indefinite detention of noncitizens suspected of terrorist activities and their subsequent trials by a military commission. Here, distinguished Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben uses such circumstances to argue that this unusual extension of power, or "state of exception," has historically been an underexamined and powerful strategy that has the potential to transform democracies into totalitarian states.

The sequel to Agamben's "Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, State of Exception" is the first book to theorize the state of exception in historical and philosophical context. In Agamben's view, the majority of legal scholars and policymakers in Europe as well as the United States have wrongly rejected the necessity of such a theory, claiming instead that the state of exception is a pragmatic question. Agamben argues here that the state of exception, which was meant to be a provisional measure, became in the course of the twentieth century a normal paradigm of government. Writing nothing less than the history of the state of exception in its various national contexts throughout Western Europe and the United States, Agamben uses the work of Carl Schmitt as a foil for his reflections as well as that of Derrida, Benjamin, and Arendt.

In this highly topical book, Agamben ultimately arrives at original ideas about the future of democracy and casts a new light on the hidden relationship that ties law to violence.

作者简介


阿岡本(Giorgio Agamben)

生於1942年的羅馬,並在1965年於羅馬大學獲得法哲學博士學位,他的思想發展以語言的哲學思考為核心,進而延伸至美學、政治與倫理等領域,並受到海德格、班雅明與德希達等哲學家深遠的影響。他在1995年發表了《神聖之人:主權權力與赤裸生命》(Homo sacer. Il potere sovrano e la nuda vita)一書,引發歐美學界的討論風潮,也使得阿岡本成為歐洲當代基進思想的新星,這本書原創性地結合卡爾.施密特的主權概念與傅柯的生命政治,重新闡釋了人的生命∕生活如何透過主權邏輯的運作形成政治秩序。《例外狀態》作為「神聖之人」系列的續作,可以視為其「法律」主題的細部發展。
