The book begins by examining the development of Agamben's key concepts-infancy,...

This book proposes a theory of the reject, a more adequate figure than the subject for thinking friendship, love, community, democracy, the post-secular, and the post-human. Through close readings of Nancy, Deleuze, Derrida, Cixous, Clement, Bataille, Balibar, Ranciere, and Badiou, Goh shows how the reject has always been nascent in contemporary French thought. The recent turn to animals and bare life, as well as the rise of the Occupy movement, he...

In order to test this hypothesis, its chapters examine the critical theory of civil society-from Hegel and Marx through Lukacs, Adorno, Benjamin, and Arendt-from the new horizon opened up by Foucault's...
