In this seminal work, Giorgio Agamben explores the theological genealogy of power, analyzing how Christian theological paradigms have shaped modern political and economic structures. Through a fascinating journey into the history of liturgical acclamations and ceremonial symbols, the author reveals how concepts like 'glory' and 'government' remain invisible yet decisive pillars in contemporary democracies, offering a new perspective on the relationship between power, consensus, and media.
Part of the 'Homo Sacer' series, this book is essential for understanding modern biopolitics and the triumph of economy over other aspects of social life. With rigorous and scholarly analysis, Agamben challenges our traditional view of politics, demonstrating that the ceremonial elements we often consider relics of the past are, in fact, the very foundation of modern Western power.
