Bare Life and Forms-of-life: Giorgio Abamben, Reader of Greek-Roman Sources
Keywords:
nutritive life, form-of-life, politicsAbstract
This article aims to demarcate the reading that the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben will make both of Aristotelian investigations - mainly the treatise Peri psykhês – and of the Roman sources for the development of the concepts of nuda vita (bare life) and forma-di-vita (form-of-life), exposing some of the aporiasinvolved in these readings.
