Abstract

We investigate the answer of the Italian Theory, from Roberto Esposito, to the political degeneration proposed in the critical authors of modernity, understood as a way out from politics and as a technification. We’ll provide a clarification of these critical thoughts and the proposal of Esposito: an identity between technology and politics. With an hermeneutic-analytical paper, we will clarify what is technology in those authors and in Esposito’s thought. This contemporary endeavor allows to claim a technical conception of political reality, and constitutes a new access to the question about humankind through technology, from a pure political activity point of view.
