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.

评分我觉得这本书还是蛮有意思的……比他的The Open好玩
评分福柯学者都读第一篇，艺术史的读第三篇。
评分很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
评分一年前读了apparatus&contemporary，刚刚读完friend，启发太大了，living and being，it can be the allegorical concept that designates "the relationship proper" that underlies subject/object or means/end paradigm. 我本真的是没得说，个人喜friend>contemporary>apparatus（原因是我真对Foucault无感
