Focuses on key aspects of Robert Espositos thought and explores the ways in which some major contemporary thinkers have been crucial interlocutors in their elaboration.
Political Ontology, Community, and Institutions offers a broad view of the current philosophical dialogue in Italy, both in relation to Robert Esposito''s own thought and with respect to major issues and authors of crucial philosophical relevance. From his earliest works, Esposito questions the crisis of politics and why thought is unable to convincingly respond to it. He does so by distancing himself not only from political theology but also from those paradigmsdestituent and constituentthat have lost nowadays much of their analytical and propositional capacity. However, his proposal is not only critical. Esposito''s thought relates to our present through the creation of new categoriesamong the most recent, those of "instituting thought" and "common immunity"capable of opening a breach in an apparently increasingly closed horizon. Therefore, dealing with his thought means, first of all, dealing with our present. This is the main goal of this volume, which focuses on Espositos dialogue with major contemporary thinkers. Also included is an unpublished interview with Esposito conducted by the editors.
