Systems of Life offers a wide-ranging revaluation of the emergence
of biopolitics in Europe from the mid- eighteenth to the
mid-nineteenth century. In staging an encounter among literature,
political economy, and the still emergent sciences of life in that
historical moment, the essays collected here reopen the question of
how concepts of animal, vegetable, and human life, among other
biological registers, had an impact on the Enlightenment project of
thinking politics and economics as a joint enterprise. The volume's
contributors consider politics, economics, and the biological as
distinct, semi-autonomous spheres whose various combinations
required inventive, sometimes incomplete, acts of conceptual
mediation, philosophical negotiation, disciplinary intervention, or
aesthetic representation.
