Stasis: Civil War as a Political Paradigm - Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics
Giorgio Agamben
A first step toward a viable theory of the manifold internal conflicts that afflict the world's populations today, this book looks at how civil war was conceived of at two crucial moments in the history of Western thought, in ancient Athens (from which the political concept of stasis emerges) and later, in the work of Thomas Hobbes.
