What is an Apparatus? and Other Essays

£13.95 Add to basket

The three essays collected in this book offer a succint introduction to Giorgio Agamben's recent work. 

The first essay is an investigation and illumination of Foucault's notion of the apparatus or dispositif.  In his second essay, Agamben tries to dispel the skepticism philosphers traditionally have toward friendship and his final essay asks the question "What does it mean to be contemporary?"
