Rather than having a frontal approach toward animality or reflecting on the animal as such, Esposito introduces this problematic as an element that traditional metaphysics has not been able to properly reflect upon. Esposito’s philosophy suggests that if we want to leave behind an immunitarian politics over life that has produced submission, suffering, and senseless death of human beings, animality should not be thought anymore as what can be destroyed with impunity, nor as that part of humanity that must be rejected and controlled by our higher spiritual and mental abilities. Esposito shows that it is only by establishing a new political and philosophical framing of existence, in which animality and humanness cannot be severed, that a politics of life can be thought and experienced. |
