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.

很typically阿甘本，关于'profane','use','atemporal time'等等概念在其他书里也提过许多次了。第三篇文章的visual language太美了：从宇宙尽头照射着却无论如何也抵达不了地球的光，因此才更需要勇气去做能从黑暗中努力看到光的人。 最羡慕阿甘本的地方就是他懂那么多语言，可以做很详尽的语言学考古（爆哭
评分重读。
评分《什么是当代人》：那些与时代太过于一致的人，那些在每一个方面都完美地附着于时代的人，不是当代的人；这恰恰是因为他们无法目睹时代；他们无法坚守自身对时代的凝视。
