Sobre a linguagem como fio condutor das reflexões de Giorgio Agamben

The article intends to approach language as the fundamental engine of Giorgio Agamben's reflections, whether pertinent to philosophy, theology, law or politics. To accomplish this purpose the article is divided into two parts. In the first one, we intend to show, especially from texts prior to the series Homo sacer, especially those present in the collection Potentialities: Collected Essays in Philosophy, in what way the thinking on language influences Agamben's understanding of the concept of philosophy, theology and tradition. In the second part we intend to explore in what way, according to Agamben, the fundamental juridical-political operation of our tradition is linked to the way we think until today the relation of man and logos. For Agamben, the exceptio structure corresponds to the original structure of the language event.
