Giorgio Agamben's Homo Sacer was one of the seminal works of political philosophy in recent decades. It was also the beginning of a series of interconnected investigations of staggering ambition and scope, investigating the deepest foundations of Western politics and thought. The Use of Bodies represents the ninth and final volume in this twenty-year undertaking, breaking considerable new ground while clarifying the stakes and implications of the project as a whole. It comprises three major sections. The first uses Aristotle's discussion of slavery as a starting point for radically rethinking notions of selfhood; the second calls for a complete reworking of Western ontology; and the third explores the enigmatic concept of "form-of-life," which is in many ways the motivating force behind the entire Homo Sacer project. Interwoven between these major sections are shorter reflections on individual thinkers (Debord, Foucault, and Heidegger), while the epilogue pushes toward a new approach to political life that breaks with the destructive deadlocks of Western thought. The Use of Bodies represents a true masterwork by one of our greatest living philosophers.

Willy Coolsaet confronteert in dit boek Nietzsche met Foucault. Hij benadert daarbij Nietzsches wil tot macht en de machtsverhoudingen bij Foucault als het cruciale perspectief van waaruit beide denkers begrepen moeten worden.Coolsaet toont aan dat Nietzsche en Foucault de wil tot macht beiden als een manifeste doel-middelverdraaiing beschrijven. Dat valt te begrijpen vanuit het perspectief van het eindige goede leven: we maken noodgedwongen onderscheid tussen 'middelen' en 'doeleinden', maar beseffen dat de rollen ook omgedraaid kunnen worden. Juist dat besef vormt ons inzicht in wat de 'natuurlijke' verhoudingen zijn.Daarnaast besteedt Coolsaet aandacht aan wat Nietzsche en Foucault over het christendom (en Nietzsche ook over het nihilisme) te zeggen hebben. Door de verwijzing naar het christendom dringt de problematiek van de waarheid zich op en kan een confrontatie met het ingenomen perspectief van de menselijke eindigheid vruchtbaar worden gemaakt.

This book explores one of the great questions of our time: How can we preserve our sense of what it means to be a person while at the same time accepting what science tells us to be true-namely, that human nature is continuous with the rest of nature? What, in other words, does it mean to be a person in a world of things? Alan Mittleman shows how the Jewish tradition provides rich ways of understanding human nature and personhood that preserve human dignity and distinction in a world of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, biotechnology, and pervasive scientism. These ancient resources can speak to Jewish, non-Jewish, and secular readers alike.Science may tell us what we are, Mittleman says, but it cannot tell us who we are, how we should live, or why we matter. Traditional Jewish thought, in open-minded dialogue with contemporary scientific perspectives, can help us answer these questions. Mittleman shows how, using sources ranging across the Jewish tradition, from the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud to more than a millennium of Jewish philosophy. Among the many subjects the book addresses are sexuality, birth and death, violence and evil, moral agency, and politics and economics. Throughout, Mittleman demonstrates how Jewish tradition brings new perspectives to-and challenges many current assumptions about-these central aspects of human nature.A study of human nature in Jewish thought and an original contribution to Jewish philosophy, this is a book for anyone interested in what it means to be human in a scientific age.
