Biological Life and Political Life

Abstract

This article focuses on the question about the relationship between politics and biological life. In fact, it claims that there has always been a relationship between politics and life since no society could have survived its own conflicts if it had not had some form of political organization. This model of political thinking, in which life is the subject, proposes to think the contemporary crisis from a different perspective, even without too many contours, but capable of opening new doors to current and future generations. From this position, the ‘affirmative biopolitics’ is not another one among so many proposals, but “the fate and the resource of future mankind.”
