Abstract

Whether the Franciscan reconciliation between vita (life) and regula (rule) suggested by Agamben can be understood as the anticipation of a new type of “undefined” social ontology on which “modern biopolitics” relies or, on the opposite, if it can be interpreted as an instrument to challenge modern laws and norms.

Keywords: Ontology; Biopolitics
