DEBT ECONOMY AND FAITH
This essay reflects on the current status of Western philosophy vis-à-vis the renewed importance of religion in the field of global public politics. It contextualizes the relationship between \"faith\" and \"knowledge\" as developed by canonical authors—such as Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Heidegger—by analyzing the failure to detach philosophical reflection from religion, especially Christianity. Departing from this discussion, the essay attempts to situate philosophy in the contemporary age. The question at its core is whether philosophy is still able to elaborate a \"critical theory,\" considering how, under the current the global dominance of economic power, the material structure of the economy is still permeated by elements such as faith in the markets. Further, the contemporary global economy is based on a system of credit intended to feed infinite debt.

A NOTE ON THE THOUGHT OF ROBERTO ESPOSITO
With this \"dissonant\" anthology (\"dissonance\" being understood not as the production of chaos, but rather in Diderot's sense of productive maximization of tension),2 Esposito continued his efforts to suspend the insistence upon \"harmony\" in modern political thought and to emphasize, again, the Centaurian enterprise of keeping order and conflict together within the space of political theory. Seen through the immunitary paradigm, order is the result of the attempt to dominate conflict, an attempt that ultimately results in preserving conflict while trying to suppress it.4 The non-dialectical interaction between immunitas and communitas in turn provided Esposito with the silent presupposition for his singular response to the debate on biological life-this \"object apparently foreign to politics\" [\"La politica al presente\" 25]-that he offered in his 2004 book, Bíos, as well as in his most recent volume, Pensiero vivente [Living Thought].

On War and on the Enemy
Precisely like war and politics, the enemy has a function that is ambiguous, even ungraspable. These notions may seem intuitively easy to define and to conceptualize, but the moment one scrutinizes them more closely, they reveal themselves to be changing and elusive. In the following notes, it will not be difficult to realize how rare are the periods when, with great effort and artifice, politics succeeds in thinking and realizing the distinction between war and peace, friend and enemy, the similar and the dissimilar. Much more frequently, these distinctions are experienced as a confusion that is more or less open, plain, and bloody.
