What is a rule, if it appears to become confused with life? And what is a human life, if, in every one of its gestures, of its words, and of its silences, it cannot be distinguished from the rule?
It is to these questions that Agamben's new book turns by means of an impassioned reading of the fascinating and massive phenomenon of Western monasticism from Pachomius to St. Francis. The book reconstructs in detail the life of the monks with their obsessive attention to temporal articulation and to the Rule, to ascetic techniques and to liturgy. But Agamben's thesis is that the true novelty of monasticism lies not in the confusion between life and norm, but in the discovery of a new dimension, in which "life" as such, perhaps for the first time, is affirmed in its autonomy, and in which the claim of the "highest poverty" and "use" challenges the law in ways that we must still grapple with today.
How can we think a form-of-life, that is, a human life released from the grip of law, and a use of bodies and of the world that never becomes an appropriation? How can we think life as something not subject to ownership but only for common use?

What Is A Rule, If It Appears To Become Confused With Life? And What Is A Human Life, If, In Every One Of Its Gestures, Of Its Words, And Of Its Silences, It Cannot Be Distinguished From The Rule? It Is To These Questions That Agamben's New Book Turns By Means Of An Impassioned Reading Of The Fascinating And Massive Phenomenon Of Western Monasticism From Pachomius To St. Francis. The Book Reconstructs In Detail The Life Of The Monks With Their Obsessive Attention To Temporal Articulation And To The Rule, To Ascetic Techniques And To Liturgy. But Agamben's Thesis Is That The True Novelty Of Monasticism Lies Not In The Confusion Between Life And Norm, But In The Discovery Of A New Dimension, In Which Life As Such, Perhaps For The First Time, Is Affirmed In Its Autonomy, And In Which The Claim Of The Highest Poverty And Use Challenges The Law In Ways That We Must Still Grapple With Today. Rule And Life. Birth Of The Rule -- Rule And Law -- Flight From The World And Constitution -- Threshold -- Liturgy And Rule. Regula Vitae -- Orality And Writing -- The Rule As A Liturgical Text -- Threshold -- Form-of-life. The Discovery Of Life -- Renouncing Law -- Highest Poverty And Use -- Threshold. Giorgio Agamben ; Translated By Adam Kotsko. Originally Published In Italian Under The Title Altissima Povertà : Regole Monastiche E Forma Di Vita. Includes Bibliographical References.
备用描述
The acclaimed philosopher and author of Homo Sacer contemplates the possibility of true human freedom through a deep analysis of monastic stricture.
What is a rule, if it appears to become confused with life? And what is a human life, if, in every one of its gestures, of its words, and of its silences, it cannot be distinguished from the rule? It is to these questions that Giorgio Agamben's new book turns by means of an impassioned reading of the phenomenon of Western monasticism from Pachomius to St. Francis.
The Highest Poverty meticulously reconstructs the lives of monks, with their obsessive attention to temporal articulation and to the Rule, to ascetic techniques and to liturgy. But Agamben's thesis is that the true novelty of monasticism lies not in the confusion between life and norm, but in the discovery of a new dimension, in which "life" is affirmed in its autonomy, and in which the claim of the "highest poverty" and "use" challenges the law in ways that we must still grapple with today.
How can we think a form-of-life, that is, a human life released from the grip of law, and a use of bodies and of the world that never becomes an appropriation? How can we think life as something not subject to ownership but only for common use?

His investigation of the past brings us closer to imagining both a form-of-life, that is, a human life released from the grip of law, and a use of bodies and of the world that never becomes an appropriation. It challenges us to think life as something not subject to ownership but only for common use. Book jacket

备用描述
In this book, Agamben investigates monasticism from its beginnings up through the Franciscan movement in an attempt to find a new form-of-life that escapes from the logic of Western politics as put forth in his Homo Sacer series.
