I read this book ages ago but still remember it fondly. The fact that I still remember it speaks volumes, since I read a lot of books and my memory is none too good.
The depth of Agamben's scholarship, and the command of materials that he cites is simply incredible. In this work, he explores what it is that distinguishes the concept of "humanity" from that of "animal". It's a fascinating journey through medieval Jewish mystical texts, Linnaeus, and modern philosophy.
