Abstract

Judaism has been present in Giorgio Agamben’s entire work,particularly in his great philosophical project, Homo sacer. Few thinkers fromthe second half of the twentieth century, such as the Italian philosopher, haveincorporated Judaism into the modern philosophical and political debate,updating it and reflecting from the particularity of the concepts to thevicissitudes of the Jewish people’s history. The purpose of this paper is to offera new reading of his book, La comunità, from where we believe his programfor a ‘coming man’ is built, and where the particularity of the Jewish matrixbecomes one of the hidden channels to “other thoughts” in the future.
