Giorgio Agamben
Giorgio Agamben (/əˈɡæmbən/ ə-GAM-bən, Italian: [ˈdʒordʒo aˈɡamben]; born 22 April 1942) is an Italian philosopher best known for his work investigating the concepts of the state of exception, form-of-life (distinct from Ludwig Wittgenstein's form of life) homo sacer, and indifference. The concept of biopolitics (carried forth from the work of Michel Foucault) informs many of his writings.
