This interdisciplinary collection of essays demonstrates how the
ethical and political problems we are confronted with today have
come to focus largely on life. The contributors to this volume
define and assess the specific meaning of life itself. It is only
by doing so that we can understand why life has become an
all-encompassing problem, why all questions, especially ethical and
political, have become vital questions. We have reached a moment in
history where every distinction and opposition is no longer in
relation to life, but within it, and where life is at once a
theoretical and practical problem. This book throws light on this
nexus of problems at the heart of contemporary debates in bioethics
and biopolitics. It helps us understand why and how life is
understood, valued, cared for and framed today. Taking a genuinely
transdisciplinary approach, these essays demonstrate how life is a
multifaceted problem and how diverse the origins, foundations and
also consequences of bioethics and biopolitics therefore are.
