Abstract

An attempt of social-philosophical analysis of emergency state institute in relation with the G. Agamben’s work «Homo Sacer. State of Exception» is presented in this paper. It is found, that state of emergency is not a dictatorship but the room of law vacuum, zone of anomy, where all «normal» legal concepts are «paralyzed». It is pointed out some connection between state of emergency and revolutionary violence; a danger of emergency state for young democracies including current Ukraine is articulated.
