By focusing on the book series Homo Sacer (1990-2014), this paper examines Giorgio Agamben’s concept of exchange, which I see not as an economical notion, but rather as a logical one. I shall show that Agamben understands the structure of mutual exchange between two concepts (either ontological, theoretical, or political ones) as the way Western philosophy forms all concepts. Through this analysis, I provide a more general reading of Agamben’s philosophy: I claim that he understands his own philosophical apparatus as an attempt to suspend this form of “exchange”.

Abstract
By focusing on the book series Homo Sacer (1990-2014), this paper examines Giorgio Agamben’s concept of exchange, which I see not as an economical notion, but rather as a logical one. I shall show that Agamben understands the structure of mutual exchange between two concepts (either ontological, theoretical, or political ones) as the way Western philosophy forms all concepts. Through this analysis, I provide a more general reading of Agamben’s philosophy: I claim that he understands his own philosophical apparatus as an attempt to suspend this form of “exchange”.
