ABSTRACT

The theoretical acquisitions of Immunitas - the different philosophy of immunity as a common immunity are preserved, rethought and, finally, transformed into the possibility of an affirmative biopolitics. The development of Bios is both an explicit consideration of Foucault, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Simondon, Canguilheim and Deleuze and a response to the notion of biopolitics in Agamben. The articulation of the 'relationship between philosophy and biopolitics after Nazism', a philosophy of bios, commences beyond the framework of modern political and legal concepts which originate with the emergence of biopolitics. The enigma of common immunity has become the thought of immanence arising from the conversion of the three bio-thanatological principles of National Socialism. The coherence and consistency of this bio-thanatological principle is predicated upon 'a normative framework that was objective precisely because it originated from the vital necessities of the German people'.
