Abstract
In this article I ask: In what sense is Auschwitz “central” to philosophy within late modernity? What does this centrality suggest for juridical thought? The article explores the status of the camp—as “paradigm” and as “ nomos” of late modernity—within the work of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, the reasons this status is refused by his legal critics, and the implications of both for late modern legal theory.
