Description

One of the many challenges for readers of Agamben's sprawling and heterogeneous body of work is what to make of his increasingly insistent focus on theology. Agamben's Coming Philosophy brings together Colby Dickinson, the author of Agamben and Theology, and Adam Kotsko, the translator of several of Agamben's more recent theologically-oriented books, to discuss Agamben's unique approach to theology-and its profound implications for understanding Agamben's philosophical project and the deepest political and ethical problems of our time. The book covers the whole range of Agamben's work, from his earliest reflections to his forthcoming magnum opus, The Use of Bodies. Along the way, the authors provide an overview of Agamben's project as a whole, as well as incisive reflections on individual works and isolated themes. This volume is essential reading for anyone grappling with Agamben's work. The theological starting point leads to a thorough examination of Agamben's methodology, his relationship with his primary sources (most notably Walter Benjamin), and his relevance for questions of politics, ethics, and philosophy. Review I read Colby Dickinson and Adam Kotsko's unprecedented book as a masterly constructed musical fugue, in which two different voices dialogue and alternate, not only throwing an entirely new light on my work, but also exploring in their adagios and crescendos a new possible use for both philosophy and theology.--Valeria Dani It is only through [the] theological dimension that we can discern the radical emancipatory project which sustains Agamben's work. For this reason, Dickinson's and Kotsko's book is indispensable for everyone who wants not only to understand where we are today, but also to discern the possibilities for breaking out of our impasses. In short, their book is simply a book for everyone - for everyone who is ready to think.--Slavoj Zizek About the Author Colby Dickinson is Associate Professor of Theology at Loyola University, Chicago.

He is editor of The Postmodern 'Saints' of France (2013) and The Shaping of Tradition: Context and Normativity (2013). Adam Kotsko is Assistant Professor of Humanities at Shimer College, Chicago.
