Ontologías de lo común en el pensamiento de Giorgio Agamben y Roberto Esposito: entre ética y política

Abstract

This paper elaborates on Giorgio Agamben's and Roberto Esposito's thought on the Community. Both authors interrogate the Common from an impolitical perspective that tries to deconstruct the presuppositions of traditional metaphysics and political philosophy in order to create an affirmative conceptuality in ontological terms. In these authors predominates the recourse to the figure of the community, later considered in the horizon of biopolitics, since life becomes the center of both the power dispositives and today's forms of political subjectification. The paper asks if these ontological approaches succeed in thinking the common politically or only in ethical terms.
