The task proposed in this essay is to intervene philosophically in a debate and a set of events still ongoing, open-ended, constantly evolving and deeply uncertain. It is therefore in this perspective that we will examine, in a still preliminary way, on one hand what can be called the paradoxical character of Agamben’s ethical-political position on the management of the pandemic of COVID-19, and on the other hand a possible use of the concept of biopolitics, developed from Foucault, beyond Foucault.

Abstract
The task proposed in this essay is to intervene philosophically in a debate and a set of events still ongoing, open-ended, constantly evolving and deeply uncertain. It is therefore in this perspective that we will examine, in a still preliminary way, on one hand what can be called the paradoxical character of Agamben’s ethical-political position on the management of the pandemic of COVID-19, and on the other hand a possible use of the concept of biopolitics, developed from Foucault, beyond Foucault.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
