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).

"Les idées, les critiques, les fantasmes, espoirs et angoisses transhumanistes sont culturellement omniprésents. La notion centrale d'amélioration/augmentation des capacités humaines n'est pas neuve. Ce qui est nouveau et qui porte le transhumanisme est que de la médecine à la robotique, des biotechnologies aux sciences cognitives, des nanotechnosciences à l'astronautique, ces idées et fantasmes connaissent de plus en plus d'ébauches de concrétisation. Ce sont ces avancées technoscientifiques projetées comme à poursuivre indéfiniment dans l'avenir qui provoquent la réflexion philosophique, éthique, politique, et lui accordent du poids et du sérieux."--Résumé de l'éditeur

Le cours prononcé par Michel Foucault au Collège de France de janvier à avril 1979, Naissance de la biopolitique, s'inscrit dans la continuité de celui de l'année précédente, Sécurité, Territoire, Population. Après avoir montré comment l'économie politique, au XVIIIe siècle, marque la naissance d'une nouvelle raison gouvernementale - gouverner moins, par souci d'efficacité maximum, en fonction de la naturalité des phénomènes auxquels on a affaire -, Michel Foucault entreprend l'analyse des formes de cette gouvernementalité libérale. Il s'agit de décrire la rationalité politique à l'intérieur de laquelle ont été osés les problèmes spécifiques de la vie et de la population : Etudier le libéralisme comme cadre général de la biopolitique. Quels sont les traits spécifiques de l'art libéral de gouverner, tel qu'il se dessine au XVIIIe siècle ? Quelle crise de gouvernementalité caractérise le monde actuel et à quelles révisions du gouvernement libéral a-t-elle donné lieu ? C'est à cette tâche de diagnostic que répond l'étude des deux grandes écoles néolibérales du XXe siècle, l'ordolibéralisme allemand et le néolibéralisme de l'Ecole de Chicago - unique incursion de Michel Foucault, tout au long de son enseignement au Collège de France, dans le champ de l'histoire contemporaine. Cette analyse met en évidence le rôle paradoxal que joue la société par rapport au gouvernement : principe au nom duquel celui-ci tend à s'autolimiter, mais cible également d'une intervention gouvernementale permanente, pour produire, multiplier et garantir les libertés nécessaires au libéralisme économique. La société civile, loin de s'opposer à l'Etat, est donc le corrélatif de la technologie libérale de gouvernement.
