- Agamben and Indifference is a major monograph of 120,000 words. It is the first major reading all of Agamben’s work up to this point, including ground-breaking work on texts now recognised as essential, in particular The Kingdom and the Glory, The Signature of All Things and The Sacrament of Language. The book is also the first to fully appreciate of the centrality of Agamben’s philosophical archaeology and the importance of indifference. It is widely regarded as the leading text on Agamben, who called it a work of “astonishing originality” and a “profound and illuminating reading of my entire work”.
