Taking a step into the history of philosophy and reaching to the very origins of aesthetics, Agamben critically recovers the roots of one of Western culture's cardinal concepts. Agamben is the rare writer whose ideas and works have a broad appeal across many fields, and with \u003ci\u003eTaste\u003c\/i\u003e he turns his critical eye to the realm of Western art and aesthetic practice. This volume will not only engage the author's devoted fans in philosophy, sociology, and literary criticism but also his growing audience among art theorists and historians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGiorgio Agamben\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than fifteen books on topics ranging from aesthetics to poetics, ontology to political philosophy, including \u003ci\u003eThe Church and the Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Unspeakable Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Nymphs\u003c\/i\u003e, all three published by Seagull Books.
