The sequel to Agamben's "Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, State of Exception "is the first book to theorize the state of exception in historical and philosophical context. Here, distinguished Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben uses such circumstances to argue that this unusual extension of power, or "state of exception," has historically been an underexamined and powerful strategy that has the potential to transform democracies into totalitarian states.
