David Kishik



David Kishik is the author of To Imagine a Form of Life, a series of paraphilosophical books.

Volume 1, To Imagine a Language, is an examination of the axis around which Ludwig Wittgenstein's evolving thought turns.

Volume 2, The Coming Politics, is a fragmentary investigation of the unitary power behind Giorgio Agamben's work.

Volume 3, A Theory of a City, is an imaginary sequel to Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project, set in twentieth-century New York.

Volume 4, On Genesis before Abraham, is a radical rereading of the opening chapters of the Hebrew Bible, refitted for a post-secular and a post-human world.

The last volume in this pentalogy will synthesize the previous studies into a single, essential, and personal text.

Quotes by David Kishik  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“Mourning the dead led the living, as it often does, to come to terms with their own existence. Following Joyce, Benjamin sensed that this quintessentially modern trauma (the steam engine, that machine of progress, can also be a machine of mass destruction) presaged what the new century held in store.”
David Kishik, The Manhattan Project: A Theory of a City

“Like unfinished manuscripts, human beings are open-ended; they never stop reading what remains to be written in the incomplete book of life.”
David Kishik, The Power of Life: Agamben and the Coming Politics
