Description
Summary:In Bios: Biopolitics and Philosophy, Esposito presents his paradigm of immunization as a particular link between life and politics and propound’s Nietzsche as its main precursor. The aim of this paper is, firstly, to show how Freud ―from his own conceptualization of life― turns out to be a more adequate precursor than Nietzsche when it comes to analyzing such paradigm and, on the other hand, how given the conflicting nature of life dynamics ―posed both by Freud and Nietzsche― another reading as to its relation with politics could be attempted parting from the paradigm of immunization.
