metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In this article, the author articulates Foucault’s theory of biopolitics as neoliberalism
  and argues that it is simultaneously the most comprehensive theory of biopolitics
  and the most instructive theory for political philosophy in the twenty-first century.
  More precisely, the analysis of biopolitical governmentality in Foucault’s different
  works reveals the continuation between the archeology of knowledge and genealogy
  of power, bringing forth the issue of political subjectivity and politics per se. It
  is argued that Foucault’s project presents an unfinished project of Modernity and
  that, as such, it opens the possibility of a different rationality with the affirmation of
  the idea of legitimacy. The movement from sovereignty to biopolitics for Foucault is
  relevant as the destruction of the legal system and the distancing from philosophy.
  Furthermore, these are key characteristics of the new Western discourse which at the
  same time is structured on the system of binary oppositions and discloses itself as a
  counter-history. In Foucault’s project by contrast, the potentiality for a new political
  subjectivity arises from the interrelations between scientific knowledge and knowledge
  of the people (local memories). Political realism is the result of his elaboration
  of utilitarian vs revolutionary course. Finally, contemporary phenomena of biopolitics
  are presented, most notably Western ‘humanitarian interventions’, political trials,
  the control and regulation of population in the Coronavirus crisis, bioterror, and the
  artificial difference between democracy and authoritarianism.
