Brief translation: Agamben on the coronavirus emergency

At the author’s request, I have posted a translation of Agamben’s indirect response to the controversy surrounding his earlier article about the response to coronavirus in Italy.

Adam Kotsko is on the faculty of the Shimer Great Books School at North Central College, where he teaches widely in the humanities and social sciences. His research focuses on political theology, continental philosophy, and the history of Christian thought. He is the author, most recently, of Agamben’s Philosophical Trajectory, a comprehensive study of the Italian philosopher that emphasizes how his thought has evolved in response to political events, and What Is Theology? Christian Thought and Contemporary Life, a collection of essays on the perils and promise of modernity’s theological legacy.
