Adam Kotsko is Assistant Professor of Humanities at Shimer College, Chicago. Carlo Salzani is an independent scholar and translator.

Marrying philological dexterity with analytical acumen, this volume goes a very long way to rectify the often superficial way in which the writings of Giorgio Agamben have been treated in an academic discourse where citation often replaces understanding. The editors and contributors should be commended for providing us, at last, with the intellectual instruments to critically approach Agamben’s creation and destruction of a sui generis philosophical tradition.
