¿Qué rasgos comparten la vida en un campo de concentración nazi y en una ciudad occidental contemporánea? ¿Qué tienen en común las teorías medievales sobre el limbo y cierta comprensión de la comunidad, deudora de Heidegger y de Bataille?

Su erudición y el carácter provocador de muchas de sus tesis son examinadas en este ensayo, que ofrece un análisis de sus virtudes y de sus límites de cara a mejorar la comprensión de la política y el derecho contemporáneos.

Excerpt:Adriana Cavarero Adriana Cavarero (born 1947 in Bra, Italy ) is an Italian philosopher and feminist thinker. She holds the title of Professor of Political Philosophy at the Università degli studi di Verona . She has also held visiting appointments at the University of California , Berkeley and Santa Barbara , at the New York University and Harvard . Cavarero is widely recognized in Italy, Europe and the English-speaking world for her writings on feminism and theories of sexual difference, on Plato, on Hannah Arendt , on theories of narration and on a wide range of issues in political philosophy and literature. Along with Giorgio Agamben , she represents one of the most interesting and widely discussed thinkers within contemporary Italian philosophy. Biography Cavarero was educated at the University of Padua, where she wrote a thesis on philosophy and poetry, in 1971, and spent the first years of her Academic career. In 1983 she left Padua for the University of Verona, where she was co-founder of Diotima a group dedicated to feminist philosophy as political engagement. Trained in ancient philosophy with a special focus on the writings of Plato and inspired by feminist philosopher, Luce Irigaray , Cavarero first drew wide attention with her book, In Spite of Plato , which pursues two interwoven themes: it engages in a deconstruction of ancient philosophical texts, primarily of Plato , but also of Homer and Parmenides , in order to free four Greek female figures (a Thracian servant , Penelope , Demeter and Diotima ) from the patriarchal discourse which for centuries had imprisoned them in a domestic role. Secondly, it ... ... Read more

Er lehrt an der Università IUAV di Venezia und an der European Graduate School in Saas-Fee. Giorgio Agamben studierte Jura an der Universität La Sapienza in Rom. Sein Studium beendete er mit einer Arbeit über die französische Philosophin Simone Weil. Während seiner Studienzeit pflegte Agamben freundschaftliche Beziehungen zu Elsa Morante, Alberto Moravia und Ingeborg Bachmann sowie zum Regisseur Pier Paolo Pasolini. In dessen im Jahr 1964 produzierten Film Il vangolo secondo Matteo (Das 1. Evangelium - Matthäus) spielte Agamben die Rolle des Apostels Philippus. In den Jahren 1966 und 1968 nahm Agamben an den Seminaren teil, die Martin Heidegger aufgrund einer Initiative von René Char in Le Thor veranstaltete. In den beiden Seminaren ging es thematisch um die Philosophen Heraklit und Hegel. Ihren Niederschlag findet die Begegnung mit Heidegger in Agambens 1970 erschienenem ersten Werk L'uomo senza contenuto. Von 1978 bis 1986 war Agamben - im Auftrag des Verlegers Giulio Einaudi (1912-1999) - Herausgeber der italienischen Ausgaben der Schriften von Walter Benjamin, wobei er seinerzeit verloren geglaubte Manuskripte Benjamins wieder entdeckte.
