Explore the foundational role of metaphysics in Western knowledge. Giorgio Agamben’s insightful work re-examines philosophy’s intricate relationship with the sciences, questioning its status as ‘first philosophy’. Discover his compelling argument on how the pursuit of primacy may have led to philosophy’s subservience to scientific disciplines. Essential for students and scholars of philosophy, critical theory, and the humanities in India, this book offers a critical lens on contemporary European thought and the evolution of knowledge.
