We Just Talk

Mm, ah, ih. Tre nydelsesfulde udtryk, som vi udstoder jAevnligt. For vi elsker at nyde. Nogle guffer en plade chokolade eller kigger pa skyerne en sommerdag. Andre lader sig piske i en swingerklub. Ah, hvilken vidunderlig smerte. Ryggen brAender og bloder. For de fleste lyder det som ren tortur. Det er det maske ogsa, men ifolge Rasmus Ugilt, filosof fra Aarhus Universitet, er der nogle gange end ikke en harfin grAense mellem nydelse og den smertefulde modsAetning. Af og til er der bare mere nydelse i av end bade mm, ah og ih.

Nydelse

Giorgio Agamben is one of the most hotly debated political philosophers today. His works on the political and legal paradigm of the West has caught the attention of philosophers, sociologists, political scientists and jurists alike. This book seeks to dispel the most unhelpful myths arising from the politically controversial nature of his work and to defend the most pertinent of his arguments in political philosophy. It also seeks to show how Agamben's philosophy can be useful for analyses of contemporary political and social phenomena. The book discusses centrepieces of Agamben's political philosophy, focusing on Homo Sacer, State of Exception, and The Kingdom and the Glory, and it tackles some of the most pressing issues discussed by Agamben including sovereignty, law, religion, profanation and messianism. Rasmus Ugilt is Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Culture and Society, Aarhus University, Denmark, and author of The Metaphysics of Terror (2012).
