Agamben, known for his poignant analyses and philosophical essays, in Where Have We Come? addresses the topic of the pandemic not only as a medical phenomenon, but also as a social phenomenon that reveals the true mechanisms of power and control. The author explores how the crisis becomes an opportunity to reinforce authoritarian tendencies, as well as how it raises crucial questions about the limits of personal freedoms and the need for collective measures.

Agamben masterfully reveals the topic, raising questions about the need to balance security and freedom, the role of civil society and the responsibility of each of us in shaping the future. In his style, there is a subtle irony, deep analysis and the ability to turn complex ideas into understandable and lively reasoning, which makes the book not only informative, but also fascinating. The peculiarity of the work is its relevance and prophetic view of the development of events, which makes it an indispensable source for those who want to be aware of modern philosophical discussions. Inspired by the works of authors such as Michel Foucault or Jean-Paul Sartre, Agamben creates a unique picture of the present, in which the pandemic becomes not only a challenge for medicine, but also a mirror for the analysis of political structures and human nature. His style is a combination of academic rigor and lively, emotional storytelling that allows the reader not only to understand, but also to feel the importance of the issues raised. “Where Have We Come From?
