Bios: Biopolitics and Philosophy: Posthumanities, cartea 4
Autor Roberto Esposito Traducere de Timothy Campbellen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2008
Roberto
Esposito
is
one
of
the
most
prolific
and
important
exponents
of
contemporary
Italian
political
theory.
Bíos-his
first
book
to
be
translated
into
English-builds
on
two
decades
of
highly
regarded
thought,
including
his
thesis
that
the
modern
individual-with
all
of
its
civil
and
political
rights
as
well
as
its
moral
powers-is
an
attempt
to
attain
immunity
from
the
contagion
of
the
extraindividual,
namely,
the
community.
In Bíos, Esposito applies such a paradigm of immunization to the analysis of the radical transformation of the political into biopolitics. Bíos discusses the origins and meanings of biopolitical discourse, demonstrates why none of the categories of modern political thought is useful for completely grasping the essence of biopolitics, and reconstructs the negative biopolitical core of Nazism. Esposito suggests that the best contemporary response to the current deadly version of biopolitics is to understand what could make up the elements of a positive biopolitics-a politics of life rather than a politics of mastery and negation of life.
In his introduction, Timothy Campbell situates Esposito’s arguments within American and European thinking on biopolitics. A comprehensive, illuminating, and highly original treatment of a critically important topic, Bíos introduces an English-reading public to a philosophy that will critically impact such wide-ranging current debates as stem cell research, euthanasia, and the war on terrorism.
Roberto Esposito teaches contemporary philosophy at the Italian Institute for the Human Sciences in Naples. His books include Categorie dell impolitico, Nove pensieri sulla politica, Communitas: orgine e destino della comunità, and Immunitas: protezione e negazione della vita.
Timothy Campbell is associate professor of Italian studies in the Department of Romance Studies at Cornell University and the author of Wireless Writing in the Age of Marconi (Minnesota, 2006).
