Summary
Confronting Fear: An Essay on Power, Memory, and the World
Ranging from ancient philosophy to pandemic politics, Agamben’s profound and disquieting essay dismantles the logic that turns emergencies into permanent rule, reason into impotence, and safety into domination. Against the will to fear, he posits an act of memory. Not of facts, but of worldhood itself.
