New title – „On People and Lemmings. Thoughts about Politics, Democracy and the Epidemic“

The book On People and Lemmings. Thoughts about Politics, Democracy and the Epidemic by one of world's most famous contemporary philosophers and political theorists, Giorgio Agamben, just came out of print. 

The author collected his thoughts on politics, democracy and the epidemic in this book. In these precise, sometimes very short texts, he tries to reflect on the ethical and political consequences of the pandemic and to define the transformation of political paradigms in Western democracies. He wonders how it is possible that, in exchange for biological security and health, the model of bourgeois democracies with clearly defined rights, parliaments and constitutions could give way to a new despotism in which citizens seemed to accept unprecedented restrictions on freedom.
