Abstract: This paper focuses on the Agambenian interpretation of Aristotle, which arises from the analysis of the relation between “ζωὴ” and “βίος” and of the figure of the slave. The aim of the work is the following: on the one hand, we will follow Agamben and his revision of the Aristotelian thought, which leads him to elaborate the crucial notion of “bare life”; on the other hand, we will verify whether the possibility to trace such a notion back to Aristotle is legitimate.
Keywords: Agamben; “Bare Life”; Aristotle; ζωὴ; βίος; Slave.
