This book places two key notions up against each other to imagine a new way of conceptualizing historical time. How do the experience of
d�j� vu and the idea ‘End of History’ relate to one another? Through thinkers like Bergson, Koj�ve and Nietzsche, Virno explores these constructs of memory and the passage of time. In showing how the experience of time becomes historical, Virno considers two fundamental concepts from Western philosophy: Power and The Act, reinterpreting these with respect to time. Through these, he elegantly constructs a radical new theory of historical temporality.
