In recent years Agamben's work has gained prominence for its incisive critique of the Western political tradition. Yet this has often resulted in a selective reading of his broad body of work, rather than one that addresses it as a complex whole. The Agamben Dictionary has brought together leading and emerging scholars from across the world to provide this essential overview of his work.

This welcome resource will help students and readers of Giorgio Agamben appreciate the cohesion of the Italian thinker’s contribution to the history of philosophy. Agamben’s terminology was often in a language other than English, but the contributors herein have worked masterfully to provide English approximations and examples in English from Agamben’s writings ... Not only are the succinct, attributed entries a pleasure to read, they are also addictive, they are so well cross-referenced ... Summing Up: Highly recommended.
