Reducing a human being to “naked life”: G. Agamben’s philosophical anthropology

Abstract

Being a cultural and a natural creature, a Human being is rarely capable of impassive and responsible self-identification. This gives us opportunity to critically interpret Giorgio Amben's philosophical anthropology. Reducing a human being to his/her imaginable and politicized “naked life”, we thus discredit its natural and biological side. Consequently, human nature as it is.
