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.

縱橫無忌。第三篇極好，腦補瞭很多李白和艾略特。夜空的隱喻想來會是這輩子讀到的關於contemporary最令人叫絕的解釋吧。
评分《什麼是當代人》：那些與時代太過於一緻的人，那些在每一個方麵都完美地附著於時代的人，不是當代的人；這恰恰是因為他們無法目睹時代；他們無法堅守自身對時代的凝視。
评分很typically阿甘本，關於'profane','use','atemporal time'等等概念在其他書裏也提過許多次瞭。第三篇文章的visual language太美瞭：從宇宙盡頭照射著卻無論如何也抵達不瞭地球的光，因此纔更需要勇氣去做能從黑暗中努力看到光的人。 最羨慕阿甘本的地方就是他懂那麼多語言，可以做很詳盡的語言學考古（爆哭
