This volume links three different theoretical approaches that have
a common focus on the relationship between biopolitics and
bioethics. This collection of papers can be categorized into
different domains that are representative of the contemporary usage
of biopolitics as a concept. On the one hand, several chapters
develop a clear and up-to-date understanding of the primary sources
of the concept and related theories of Agamben, Negri or Foucault
and approach the question of relevance within the field of
bioethics. Another group of papers apply the philosophical concepts
and theories of biopolitics (biopower, Homo Sacer, biocitizenship)
on very specific currently debated bioethical issues. Some scholars
rely on the more mundane understanding of (bio)politics and
investigate how its relationship with bioethics could be
philosophically conceptualized. Additionally, this work also
contains papers that follow a more legally oriented analysis on the
effects of contemporary biopolitics on human rights and European
law. The authors are philosophers, legal scholars or bioethicists.
The major strength of this volume is to provide the reader with
major insights and orientation in these different contemporary
usages of the concept and theories of biopolitics, within the
context of its various ethically relevant applications.
