ABSTRACT
With the publication of L’Uso dei Corpi (2014a), Giorgio Agamben almost abandoned his Homo Sacer project after 20 years of research. Abandoned, he said and wrote, because every demanding philosophical effort cannot be pushed to an end, it cannot be concluded by his own admission. So, why is he starting his illustration with the last book, rather than the original earlier one? Why is he disrupting the lineage of chronological order? Because L’Uso dei Corpi and other recent collections of essays, Il Fuoco ed il Racconto (2014d) and Che Cos’è la Filosofia? (2016), that do not officially belong to the Homo Sacer project, are recollecting and clearly illustrating the inheritance of the whole project and advancing some discourses further into the future.
