Roberto Esposito is one of the most prolific and important exponents of contemporary Italian political theory. Bios-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 Bios, Esposito applies such a paradigm of immunization to the analysis of the radical transformation of the political into biopolitics....

What is the relationship between persons and things? And how does the body transform this relationship? In this highly original new book, Roberto Esposito - one of Italy's leading political philosophers - considers these questions and shows that starting from the body, rather than from the thing or the person, can help us to reconsider the status of both.

Ever since its beginnings, our civilization has been based on a strict, unequivocal distinction between persons and things, founded on the instrumental domination of persons over things. This opposition arose out of ancient Roman...

The work of contemporary Italian thinkers, what Roberto Esposito refers to as Italian Theory, is attracting increasing attention around the world. This book explores the reasons for its growing popularity, its distinguishing traits, and why people are turning to these authors for answers to real-world issues and problems.

He offers insights into the great "unphilosophical" philosophers of life--poets, painters, politicians and revolutionaries, film-makers and literary...

No theme has been more central to international philosophical debates than that of community: from American communitarianism to Habermas's ethic of communication to the French deconstruction of community in the work of Derrida and Nancy.

In Communitas: The Origin and Destiny of Community, Roberto Esposito does just that through an original counter-history of political philosophy that takes up not only readings of community by Hobbes,...

Was haben rechtliche Ausnahmeregelungen mit medizinischer Prävention, Cyberattacken mit Pandemien, die Fürsorge des Wohlfahrtsstaates mit brutalen Grenzregimes zu tun? Profund und konzis entwickelt der Philosoph Roberto Esposito den Begriff »Immunität« als ein Grundparadigma an den Schnittstellen von Recht, Medizin und Politik. Entfaltet wird eine aus der Rechtssphäre stammende dialektische Figur von Einschluss und Ausschluss, deren Virulenz nicht zuletzt im Licht der gegenwärtigen Covid-19-Krise in ihrer ganzen Tragweite erkennbar wird.

Je stärker das Gefühl des...
