Description: A collection of essays by political theorists on Agamben's Homo Sacer.
Review Quotes: "Politics, Metaphysics, and Death provides the most lucid and penetrating accounts available of the political thought of Italy's most influential philosopher. Agamben's engagement with the complex entanglement of modernity and the tradition, the contributors to this volume show, cannot be ignored by anyone who would face up to the demands now placed by politics on political theory."--Frederick M. Dolan, author of Allegories of America: Narratives, Metaphysics, Politics
