A glimpse into philosopher Giorgio Agamben's formative encounter with Martin Heidegger, told through his notes from the Le Thor seminars. What does it mean for thought to have a time of its own? In The Time of Thinking , Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben presents the notes he took during two seminars with Martin Heidegger at Le Thor, Provence, preserving the compressed, working rhythm of a notebook while clarifying only what might otherwise be opaque. Throughout these pages, vignettes from Agamben's time in Le Thor--walking among pines to a precipitous viewpoint once painted by Paul Cézanne, sitting in quiet recollection--open onto reflections on memory, youth, and the shape of a life not yet "filled in." Illustrated with archival materials, the book offers a small, carefully composed record of philosophical attention: not a retrospective monument, but a living trace of thought as it happens in time and place.
