“…In Political Theology (Schmitt 1922) Carl Schmitt quotes the young Engels, who wrote ''The essence of the state, as that of religion, is mankind's fear of itself''. As a psychoanalyst who has worked for years on ethical and societal implications of security, I have found this quotation illuminating.…”

“…Carl Schmitt (2006) atraviesa este fantasma fundamental del liberalismo, se interna en la caverna de los dioses, allí donde se "hacen las palabras" y demuestra que detrás de la perfección lógica de la modernidad yace una metafísica neurótica y una mitología renegada. El caso ejemplar es su afi rmación decisionista según la cualel gobierno de la ley depende en última instancia de un acto de abismal violencia (de imposición violenta) solo fundado en sí mismo: el acto original que funda lo simbólico, que origina la palabra de la ley es un acto que se resiste a la validez, pues "es" la validez misma.…”

This article presents a critical account of Agamben's understanding of the logic of sovereignty and of the notion bare life, particularly Agamben's approach to the paradox of sovereignty and its relation to Aristotle's metaphysical category of potentiality. With regards to bare life, it brings together an analysis of the figure of the homo sacer with an account of Agamben's use of paradigms as methodological tools. The first part of the paper argues that Agamben ontologises sovereignty by dramatising the paradox of its structure as im-potentiality. The second part claims that even though an account of Agamben's methodology serves to respond to the different critiques that his notion of bare life has raised, Agamben's notions of sovereignty and of bare life ultimately rely on Schmitt's decisionism.
