In this exclusive dialogue Agamben explains with remarkable subtlety how his thinking has, over many years, been shaped by Buddhism and the Indian tradition more broadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubsequent chapters authored by Steven DeCaroli, Adam Lobel, and Jessica Locke take seriously these points of connection and further probe the depth of Agamben's engagement with Buddhist principles in both his early and recent works. Topics examined include the influence of Nagarjuna's philosophy of emptiness on Agamben's political ontology; similarities between Agamben's sense of inoperative contemplation and the Tibetan Buddhist “Great Completion” tradition (Dzogchen); and his explorations into the notion of fault in \u003ci\u003eKarman\u003c\/i\u003e, inspired by the etymological link between the Sanskrit 'karman' and Latin 'crimen'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a foreword by esteemed Agamben translator Adam Kotsko, \u003ci\u003eAgamben's Buddhism \u003c\/i\u003eopens up a completely new area of research into Agamben's philosophy. It uncovers for the first time how Agamben, long considered a scholar of the Western tradition, in fact challenges parochial views in Western thought and, in doing so, demonstrates the great richness that cross-cultural dialogue can bring to philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven DeCaroli\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at   Goucher College, USA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Lobel\u003c\/b\u003e is an Independent Scholar and   Buddhist Teacher based in USA.
