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.

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?

The work of contemporary Italian thinkers, what Roberto Esposito refers to as Italian Theory, is attracting increasing attention around the world.

The approach he takes, in line with the keen historical consciousness of Italian thinkers themselves, is a historical one. 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. Nevertheless, in none of these cases has the concept been examined from the perspective of community's original etymological meaning: cum munus. 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,...
