商品簡介
This book places two key notions up against each other to imagine a new way of conceptualizing historical time. How do the experience of deja vu and the idea of the “End of History” relate to one another? Through thinkers like Bergson, Kojeve and Nietzsche, Virno explores these constructs of memory and the passage of time. In showing how the experience of time becomes historical, Virno considers two fundamental concepts from Western philosophy: Power and The Act. Through these, he elegantly constructs a radical new theory of historical temporality.
