<br/><br/>The enigma of biopolitics -- The paradigm of immunization -- Biopower and biopotentiality -- Thanatopolitics (the cycle of genos) -- The philosophy of Bios 
<br/><br/> In Bios, Esposito applies such a paradigm of immunization to the analysis of the radical transformation of the political into biopolitics. Bios discusses the origins and meanings of biopolitical discourse, demonstrates why none of the categories of modern political thought is useful for completely grasping the essence of biopolitics, and reconstructs the negative biopolitical core of Nazism. Esposito suggests that the best contemporary response to the current deadly version of biopolitics is to understand what could make up the elements of a positive biopolitics-a politics of life rather than a politics of mastery and negation of life
