Abstract
LEMM, VANESSA. NIETZSCHE AND BIOPOLITICS: FOUR READINGS OF NIETZSCHE AS A BIOPOLITICAL THINKER. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.158, pp.223-248. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v64n158.49433.
Twentieth-century readers wondered if Nietzschean philosophy was apolitical, impolitic, or anti-political; that is, if it could be assimilated by democracy or if it was antimodern, elitist, and reactionary. The Italian philosopher Robert Esposito has proposed reading Nietzsche's philosophy as forming and informing the biopolitical paradigm. Four readings of these biopolitics are discussed: as part of the paradigm of immunity, as thanatopolitics, as liberal and neoliberal, and as affirmative biopolitics.
Keywords : F. Nietzsche.
