In The Security Principle, French philosopher Frederic Gros takes a
historical approach to the concept of "security", looking at its
evolution from the Stoics to the social network. With lucidity and
rigour, Gros's approach is fourfold, looking at security as a
mental state, as developed by the Greeks; as an objective situation
and absence of all danger, as prevailed in the Middle Ages; as
guaranteed by the nation state and its trio of judiciary, police
and military; and finally "biosecurity", control, regulation and
protection in the flux of contemporary society. In this deeply
thought-provoking account, Gros's exploration of security shines a
light both on its past meanings as well as its present uses,
exposing the contemporary abuses of security and the pervasiveness
of it in everyday life in the Global North.
