Synopsis "Instituting Thought: Three Paradigms of Political Ontology"

This new book by the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito addresses the profound crisis of contemporary politics and examines some of the philosophical approaches that have been used to try to understand and go beyond this crisis. Two approaches have been particularly influential - one indebted to the thought of Martin Heidegger, the other indebted to Gilles Deleuze. While opposed in their political thrust and orientation, both approaches remain trapped within the political ontology that has framed our conceptual language for some time. In order to move beyond this political ontology, Esposito turns to a third approach that he characterizes as 'instituting thought'. Indebted to the work of the French political philosopher Claude Lefort, this third approach recognizes that the road to reconstructing a productive relation between ontology and politics, one that is both realistic and innovative, lies in instituting praxis. Building on this insight, Esposito conceptualizes social being as neither univocal nor plurivocal but as cross-cut by the dual semantics of political conflict. This new book by one of the most original European philosophers writing today will be of great interest to students and scholars in philosophy, social and political theory and the humanities generally.

Roberto Esposito, nacido el 4 de agosto de 1950 en Piano di Sorrento, Italia, es un filósofo contemporáneo destacado en el ámbito de la filosofía política y la teoría crítica. Es reconocido por sus estudios sobre biopolítica y por haber desarrollado conceptos clave que exploran la relación entre la vida, la comunidad y la política. Su carrera académica se ha desarrollado principalmente en la Scuola Normale Superiore de Pisa, donde ha enseñado filosofía teórica, y ha tenido influencia internacional en la reflexión sobre el poder y la sociedad contemporánea.
Entre sus aportes más importantes se encuentra la reinterpretación de nociones como communitas e immunitas. La primera no se entiende como una comunidad tradicional, sino como una experiencia de compartir y exponerse a lo común, mientras que la segunda representa la lógica de protección que, al separarse de lo común, puede volverse autodestructiva. A partir de estas ideas, Esposito analiza cómo la vida política y la biológica se entrelazan, planteando que los mecanismos de protección social y política pueden derivar en procesos que ponen en riesgo aquello que buscan preservar.
Su obra ha renovado la reflexión sobre la democracia, la vulnerabilidad, la gestión de la vida y las relaciones entre individuo y colectivo. Con un enfoque que conecta filosofía, política y ética, Esposito se ha consolidado como una de las voces más influyentes para comprender los desafíos del mundo contemporáneo.
