12 BASIC READINGS on ‘il Politico’
i) H. Arendt (1958), The Human Condition. The last contribution to the Arendtian literature comes from my Verona colleagues:
ii) A. Cavarero, . An excellent text, in what Severino labels “contemporary (neo-) Aristotelism” (whose origins are also briefly outlined and discussed by Adriana); nonetheless, in my view it must be discounted for often gratuitous and unnecessary “critiques” (not all of them: some are constructive andor useful ones) to Levinas. An example – among many – of the fall of the Angels, incl. the Authority principle; as his readers know well, E. Severino includes Capitalism among the Angels accompanying God in His Death, by the way.
iii) R. Esposito, Bìos.
iv) M. Friedman, Capitalism and Freedom. Italian ed.: Capitalismo e libertà.
v) E. Levinas – Emmanuel’s quite marginal Politics can be understood only in a biopolitical frame, namely from the various biographical sources and beautiful interviews to him: 1st, his entire family was exterminated; 2nd, his silent, tacit criticism of Soviet Russia (but not of socialism in itself) is mediated (metaxù) through his favoured book, the Absolute novel: Grossman’s Vie et Destin. Bettina Bergo on Stanford’s EoPh explains Hermann Cohen’s influence upon Emmanuel’s asystemic bio-evolution, also involving Politics:
Politics and the Third Party are, by 1974 [Autrement qu'être ou au-delà de l'essence. Phaenomenologica 54. The Hague and Boston: Martinus Nijhoff, 1974], largely synonymous with “humanity.” This is a significant displacement from his condemnation of politics as the polemos of Being itself, in 1961. [Totalité et Infini: Essais sur l'Extériorité. Phaenomenologica 8. Idem, 1961.]
vi) K. Marx and F. Engels (1848), The Manifesto of the Communist Party: .
