FRIT 37.06 Italian Political Theory: From Dante and Machiavelli to Biopolitics

In his 2010 book Living Thought, philosopher Roberto Esposito claims not only that the work of contemporary Italian Theory is attracting increasing international attention, but also that knowledge of the Italian intellectual tradition is crucial for understanding the world around us. To comprehend and evaluate Esposito’s claim, this FRIT class explores Italian political thought from Dante and Machiavelli to the contemporary international debate on biopolitics led by figure such as Giorgio Agamben and Esposito himself.  The class will be taught in English.
