Having already traced the roots of the idea of sovereignty, sacredness, and economy, he now turns to a perhaps unlikely topic: the concept of the oath. Following the Italian scholar Paolo Prodi, Agamben sees the oath as foundational for Western politics and undertakes an exploration of the roots of the phenomenon of the oath in human experience. He rejects the common idea that the oath finds its origin in religion, arguing instead that the oath points toward a particular response to the experience of language, a response that gave birth to both religion and law as we now know them. This book is important not only for readers of Agamben or of continental philosophy more broadly, but for anyone interested in questions relating to the relationships among religion, law, and language.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 136gAuthor: Giorgio AgambenTranslator: Adam KotskoContributor: Adam Kotsko (Translated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Meridian: Crossing AestheticsRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
