Pill Pod 216 - Schmitt & Agamben: States of Exception (exclusive)
Added 2025-07-18 19:55:33 +0000 UTCLots to say about this concept but I (pills) became suddenly indisposed an hour before call time. In lieu, Erik and Victor break down the concept of "The State Of Exception" in two political philosophers, Carl Schmitt (Political Theology, 1922) and Giorgio Agamben (Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life 1998), and see if there are any relevant applications.
Comments
I felt like the timing of this episode, despite the absence of the fearless leader Pills, couldn’t have been better with the most recent Judilee video. Would be fun to hear this tied into what some of the lovely, rational, philosophical takes were from that in the next one
