Infancy and history : essays on the destruction of experience

Argues that contemporary existence is marked by a denial of experience. Through explorations of the work of Kant, Hegel and Husserl, Agamben addresses the question of language and experience. His chapter on childhood and games explores the notion of "dumb", pre-linguistic experience.
