Description: Leonard Lawlor develops a philosophy of life in opposition to the notion of 'bio-power, ' which reduces the human to the question of power over what Giorgio Agamben terms 'bare life', mere biological existence. He provides conceptual tools for intervening in issues such as the AIDS epidemic & life-support for the infirm.
