{"product_id":"form-of-life-gian-giacomo-fusco-9781474460934","title":"Form of Life: Agamben and the Destitution of Rules","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe notion of form-of-life refers to a living dimension that has overthrown the structures of power in which humans are supposedly destined to live, disclosing the possibility of a new understanding of political and legal life. By placing the 'form-of-life' in the context of contemporary philosophy, this book re-imagines anew some of the basic categories of human socialities - such as work, rights, obligation, property, and use. It explores the ways in which Agamben's philosophy might be helpful in developing political and legal strategies that leave behind a situation dominated by pervasive sovereign violence.\u003cbr\u003eAt a moment of history in which the fundamental promises of Western modernity are undergoing a decisive crisis, to look beyond the basic categories of human social institutions becomes an urgency. Through a close engagement with Agamben's concept of form-of-life, this book seeks to challenge the current crisis of juridical, political and economic reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gian Giacomo Fusco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474460933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474460934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.48d","brand":"Gian Giacomo Fusco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136201871615,"sku":"9781474460934","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_074c5f1a-09c1-43c0-85d6-632f4b4b07fe.jpg?v=1726415987","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/form-of-life-gian-giacomo-fusco-9781474460934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
