Exploring Agamben's political philosophy, this work reframes his ideas as fundamentally redemptive rather than pessimistic. Jessica Whyte analyzes his critique of biopolitics, human rights, and the normalization of the state of exception, emphasizing how these contemporary catastrophes reveal opportunities for profane redemption.
