This collection of essays offers creative new ways of considering Agamben's critique of the sovereign exception, as well as other existentialist themes, including feminism and postcolonialism. The international range of contributors each challenge, complicate, or reimagine Agamben's reading of the sovereign exception, which appears among the writings of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, Heidegger, Beauvoir, Fanon, Kafka, Dostoevsky, and others in both theistic and atheistic forms. Divided into three sections, Agamben and the Sovereign Exception, Agamben and the Death of God, and Existentialist Themes in Agamben, this collection re-introduces Agamben as an unacknowledged existentialist philosopher who takes the major themes and concepts of existentialism in a startling new direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Giorgio Agamben's work has not previously been categorized as existentialist, his work creatively repackages important existentialist themes in a politico-theological context.
