Meticulously researched, and engaging with the entire corpus of Giorgio Agamben's work, Ido Govrin's book excavates the historical and textual origins of the notion of philosophical archaeology. The book has the immense merit of seriously exploring the precise place of Walter Benjamin-and by extension a certain Jewish tradition-in Agamben's thought. Additionally, it attempts the difficult task of determining aesthetics' role in the economy of his work. Govrin also contributes an impressive explication of Agamben's theory of time. - Michael Lewis, coeditor of The Bloomsbury Italian Philosophy Reader
