ABSTRACT

The task determined, in Immunitas, for a thought which remains after the end of philosophy involves a far more extensive questioning of the domains of knowledge. The modern tradition of political philosophy and its critique, in Communitas, is replaced with the identification of the presence of this figure of exclusionary inclusion in the disciplines of 'law, theology, anthropology, politics and biology'. The initial reflection upon immunity remains an etymological approach. The focus is shifted from an initial etymological investigation of the semantic complexity of munus/communitas, in Communitas, to the subsequent application, in Immunitas, of the etymological roots of the grammar. The negativity of communitas, which flows from the instability created by the presence of the term munus within it. The grammar of pronouns enables negativity to be the expression of chiasmus: a figure which has an inherent negativity within it. Immunitas has then proceeded beyond the opening which Bataille and Heidegger gestured towards the conclusion of the development of Communitas.
