Vol 8, No 3 (2007) • Filosofia Unisinos - Unisinos Journal of Philosophy
Autor: Castor M. M. Bartolomé Ruiz
Resumo:
This paper discusses the relation between human life and the power devices. Modern societies have used human life to obtain gains for their institutions and structures. The political praxis has become a way of administering human beings by inserting natural human life in the institutional interests. This is the main goal of biopolitics.
