Description

Explore the complex relationship between humans and the natural world with On Biopolitics: An Inquiry into Nature and Language. Part of the Routledge Innovations in Political Theory series, this book offers a scholarly investigation into the political consequences of viewing humans as animals. Author Marco Piasentier examines how biology and critical theory interact, arguing that biology cannot be used as a sole measure of societies while noting that critical theory must account for the scientific worldview. The text analyzes two primary strands of biopolitical theory that interpret nature in conflicting ways. One strand views the natural world as a historical invention produced by specific mechanisms, while the other offers a different perspective on our biological existence. This work is essential for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and political theory. By bringing critical thought into dialogue with naturalism, it provides a foundation for understanding how nature and language shape our political reality.
