The three essays collected in this book offer a succinct introduction to Agamben's recent work through an investigation of Foucault's notion of the apparatus, a meditation on the intimate link of philosophy to friendship, and a reflection on contemporariness, or the singular relation one may have to one's own time.
"Apparatus" (dispositif in French) is at once a most ubiquitous and nebulous concept in Foucault's later thought. In a text bearing the same name ("What is a dispositif?") Deleuze managed to contribute its mystification, but Agamben's leading essay illuminates the notion: "I will call an apparatus," he writes, "literally anything that has in some way the capacity to capture, orient, determine, intercept, model, control, or secure the gestures, behaviors, opinions, or discourses of living beings." Seen from this perspective, Agamben's work, like Foucault's, may be described as the identification and investigation of apparatuses, together with incessant attempts to find new ways to dismantle them.
Though philosophy contains the notion of philos, or friend, in its very name, philosophers tend to be very skeptical about friendship. In his second essay, Agamben tries to dispel this skepticism by showing that at the heart of friendship and philosophy, but also at the core of politics, lies the same experience: the shared sensation of being.
Guided by the question, "What does it mean to be contemporary?" Agamben begins the third essay with a reading of Nietzsche's philosophy and Mandelstam's poetry, proceeding from these to an exploration of such diverse fields as fashion, neurophysiology, messianism and astrophysics.
Giorgio Agamben, a leading Italian philosopher and radical political theorist, is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Venice. Stanford University Press has published six of his previous books: Homo Sacer (1998), Potentialities (1999), The Man Without Content (1999), The End of the Poem (1999), The Open (2004), and The Time that Remains (2005).

这本书的封面设计简直是视觉上的盛宴,那种深沉的蓝色调配上烫金的标题,立刻抓住了我的眼球。打开书页,内页的排版也着实让人眼前一亮,字体的选择和行距的处理都显得极为考究,给人一种沉浸式的阅读体验。随便翻开一页,就能感受到那种精心打磨的质感,文字仿佛在纸面上呼吸。这不仅仅是一本书,更像是一件值得收藏的艺术品。我特别喜欢它装帧的细节,那种微小的触感反馈,让人在阅读时不仅仅是接收信息,更是一种全方位的感官享受。从图书馆的书架上把它抽出来的那一刻起,我就知道我将要面对的,绝非泛泛之作。它散发出的那种低调而又深邃的气质,暗示着其中蕴含的内容必然是经过时间沉淀和反复打磨的精品。
评分从整体结构来看,这本书的编排方式非常巧妙,它不是线性的信息堆砌,而更像是一个精心设计的交响乐章。不同的章节之间存在着微妙的呼应和递进关系,高潮与低谷的转换处理得自然流畅,绝不生硬。我特别欣赏作者在处理叙事节奏上的老练手法,他知道何时应该放缓脚步,进行深入的剖析,又何时需要加快节奏,带来思辨上的冲击。这种节奏感使得阅读体验充满了张力,让人难以释卷。每一次翻页,都带着一种对下一段精彩演绎的期待,而作者似乎总能不负众望,在关键时刻给出令人拍案叫绝的转折或总结。这种结构上的精心雕琢,显示了作者对文本整体控制力的非凡自信。
评分关于这本书所探讨的主题,其广度和深度都超出了我的初始预期。我原以为它会聚焦于某个特定的学术范畴,但事实证明,作者的视野是如此开阔,能够将看似毫不相关的领域连接起来,形成一个宏大而又令人信服的知识图景。阅读的过程中,我像是被带入了一个巨大的思想迷宫,每走一步都能发现新的路径和意想不到的景观。那些原本模糊的概念,经过作者的阐释后,变得立体而鲜活,仿佛拥有了生命力。这本书并非提供简单的答案,而是更巧妙地提出了更深刻的问题,挑战我们固有的认知结构。它成功地在我的脑海中播下了许多关于“何以如此”的种子,让我对既有知识体系产生了全新的、充满批判性的好奇心。
评分初读之下,我立刻被作者那近乎手术刀般精准的叙事风格所吸引。他似乎对文字有着一种近乎苛刻的控制力,每一个词语的放置都恰到好处,没有一丝多余的赘述,却又能将复杂的概念描绘得清晰透彻。这种行文方式,让阅读过程变成了一场智力上的冒险,我需要全神贯注地去捕捉那些潜藏在字里行间深处的微小暗示。我发现自己不得不时常停下来,反复咀嚼那些精妙的措辞,品味其中蕴含的张力和韵味。这本书的语言构建了一个极其严密且自洽的逻辑框架,读起来酣畅淋漓,仿佛跟着一位顶级辩论家在进行一场精彩绝伦的思维交锋。它强迫你走出舒适区,去审视那些你习以为常却从未深思过的领域。
评分坦率地说,这本书的阅读门槛不低,它要求读者投入相当的精力去消化那些密度极高的论述。它不是那种可以一边喝咖啡一边轻松翻阅的读物,而需要一种近乎冥想的状态才能真正领会其精髓。但正是这种挑战性,使得最终的收获显得尤为珍贵。每攻克一个复杂的论点,我都会有一种成就感油然而生,仿佛自己也随之完成了一次心智上的蜕变。这本书更像是一位严苛的导师,它不会轻易地喂给你现成的结论,而是引导你亲手去搭建知识的阶梯,这种“自力更生”的学习过程,无疑比被动接受来得更加深刻和持久。它最终留给读者的,不仅是新的知识,更是一种全新的思考工具和看待世界的视角。
