Focuses on key aspects of Robert Esposito's thought and explores the ways in which some major contemporary thinkers have been crucial interlocutors in their elaboration.Political Ontology, Community, and Institutions offers a broad view of the current philosophical dialogue in Italy, both in relation to Robert Esposito's own thought and with respect to major issues and authors of crucial philosophical relevance. From his earliest works, Esposito questions the crisis of politics and why thought is unable to convincingly respond to it. He does so by distancing himself not only from political theology but also from those paradigms-destituent and constituent-that have lost nowadays much of their analytical and propositional capacity. However, his proposal is not only critical. Esposito's thought relates to our present through the creation of new categories-among the most recent, those of "instituting thought" and "common immunity"-capable of opening a breach in an apparently increasingly closed horizon. Therefore, dealing with his thought means, first of all, dealing with our present. This is the main goal of this volume, which focuses on Esposito's dialogue with major contemporary thinkers. Also included is an unpublished interview with Esposito conducted by the editors.

"This volume not only constitutes an important contribution to contemporary Italian philosophy, and Italian political philosophy, but also to pandemic studies and post-pandemic philosophy, in particular in relation to the notion of the biopolitical. It will be invaluable to scholars interested in the current state of Esposito's work and in its development over the past several decades, in conversation and at times conflict with many of the most important figures in twentieth-century and contemporary European thought." — Pierre Lamarche, Utah Valley University
