Agambenian bio-political theory is based upon the crucial concept Homo Sacer,who manifests itself in Sovereign system with exceptional refugee identification and implies its ability to make the Sovereign order destitute.Therefore,Homo Sacer is an abstract heterogeneous element within the exceptional operation of the Sovereign order and carried with a redemptive political potential.In this passage,I would argue that this kind of redemptive character emanate originally from the Jewish——Christian Messianism tradition,which was secularized by Agamben in his bio-political approach and complies to a modern Gnostic dualism procedure.This contributed to a popular impression of Agamben as a radical political thinker.This research seeks to detect the resounding of Jewish Messianism tradition upon the contemporary political thoughts.Through this investigation,we could learn the old lessons from the present intellectual trends and provide the public with prudential perspective toward the radical political thoughts.
