In this chapter, the author argues that Giorgio Agamben’s and Martin Heidegger’s philosophies reflect antithetical political stances, a contrast that facilitates her book’s defense of the political meaning of Agamben’s philosophy. His ontology of nudity is by all means a political ontology. The author presents matches that might inspire others to interpret literature along Agambenian lines, carrying out Agamben’s proposition that philosophy and poetry/literature need to marry. Agamben has indicated that philosophy is homeless without literature. As all Agambenians know, Agamben is skeptical of the concept of ontology. Agamben’s discussion of “use” as “constitutively an inoperative praxis” brings him back to Aristotle, whose apparatus of potential/act must, he insists, be deactivated, since it regards energeia or “being-at-work” as superior to potential. Agamben is perhaps surprisingly more attuned to Plato’s thought. Agamben’s ontology of nudity and his sense of life as political are indifferent.
