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.
