⭐Giorgio Agamben’s The Coming Community is a quiet and beautifully written confrontation of thinking, an opening onto potentia that the careful reader (as such) will raise heart, head, and hand to meet irreparably. The small book bears its own halo, the words guilty yet of my own inactuality. The world such as, “here I am!”

⭐Recently a former schoolfriend has send me the section Homonyme fromthe book “The Coming Community”. The topic of that section has had my interesteven before because of their importance in the foundations of mathematics.I would like to ask whether Agamben is familiar with topicslike first order formal language contra higher order formal language.Is he familiar enough with the never ending debate of formalism versus intuitionism.I could go on and explain the rudimentary way to deal with paradoxes in the naive set theory.Moreover, Giorgio Agamben addresses together and mixes unnecessarilythe mathematical and logical problems with physical problems.I see the danger that he wants too much, and takes the broadness of philosophyas a license to talk in a too vague way.Perhaps only Feynman and Hawking would be able to avoid such pitfalls.I think it would be more inspiring to be more clear, anyway.

⭐Herman Hesse more or less refuted this work 100 years before it was written. Though Agamben addresses salient points regarding the state, the necessity of jumping into the waters of life seems to be completely skirted here. I think that Nietzsche would consider Agamben one of the Last Men and not an Ubermensch by any stretch of the imagination. Here is a perfect example of academia as overly worded impotence.

⭐The Coming Community by the Italian thinker Agamben, translated by Michael Hardt, is an indispensible work for anyone who is interested in a renewed thinking of a political community without identity.The Coming Community does not refer to a community that will arrive one day in a fixed form. Such an arrival would only indicate that it is not the community that we are talking about. Rather, it is a community which lacks precisely this fixed identity, and which beings must learn to belong to.This can be seen as a singular attempt at a renewed thinking of community against the background of Jean-Luc Nancy’s work in Inoperative Community and Blanchot’s Unavowable Community. Also, the work can be read in the context of Derrida’s work on “the democracy-to-come”.
