La filosofia politica di Giorgio Agamben. Concetti, metodi e problemi

The following article will analyse the main concepts of Agamben’s political philosophy and especially the key notions of his project Homo sacer (1995-2015). Firstly, it will show the way in which Agamben’s philosophy cannot be absolutely seen as political manifesto. Indeed, Agamben’s reflection is a radical investigation concerning a wide range of traditional political categories. But exactly for this reason, Agamben’s philosophy represents a theoretical solution to some problematic aspects of Western political philosophy. Furthermore, the following article will describe the structure of Agamben’s argumentations and the peculiarities of his method. Consequently, we will focus on some features of Agamben’s approach regarding politics, language, anthropology and so forth. Finally, we will try to advance a set of arguments to highlight the most significant conundrums of Agamben’s political philosophy.
