“…In a different distinction, namely that established by Levinas between sacred and holy (Levinas 1977), or by Jan Patocka between sacredness and responsibility (Patocka 1981;Derrida 1999), the religious dimension that protects and that forbids would still be completely on the side of sacredness; the dimension of sanctity or responsibility would be placed on the side of human freedom, which corresponds to a requirement posed by the exposure to the other, who contaminates. "There is religion, in the literal sense of the word, from the moment when the secret of the sacred, the orgiastic or demonic mystery would be, if not destroyed, at least dominated, integrated and finally subject to the sphere of responsibility.…”

Biopolitics, Immunity, and Religion: A Brief Critical Reading of Roberto Esposito

In Western culture, it is possible to trace an archeology of the political as an effect of theological-political devices (essentially Christian-inspired). If we add to this the evolution of politics, in modern times, towards biopolitics, then this relationship focuses on very concrete topics. This is the case of the immunological process—from a personal, social, and philosophical perspective—thoroughly analyzed by the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito. In the context of his philosophical immunology, the place of religion is mainly archaeological and is interpreted critically: either as an immunization mechanism that results in self-immunization, destroying what it intends to defend; or in another way, from a perspective closer to the Christian tradition, as a “theological–political machine”, based on the “person” device, which ends up giving rise to binarisms that dissolve themselves into the One, by the domain of one of the poles. This article aims to critically analyze his position on both aspects, proposing a reading close to his thought but which is, at the same time, somewhat different. This proposal is directly inspired by neither a binarian nor an immunological, but rather a “ternary” trinitarian theology. The originality of the article lies in evaluating the place of religion within Esposito’s philosophical immunology—which has not been worked on—as well as in a critical discussion on his interpretation either of religion or of some theological–political devices; this critical approach is based on an alternative reading of the same topics.

The remarkable success of Vaclav Klaus and the 'Thatcherite' right in the Czech Republic was an exception in post-communist Eastern Europe. Explanations for its success have usually focused on policy performance, fixed historical legacies or generalized understandings of post-communism, but have largely ignored the role of ideology. However, despite differences of context, 'Czech Thatcherism', like its British precursor, can be seen in Gramscian terms as an innovative, populist right-wing ideology linked to a hegemonic project of social transformation. This article traces the importation of Anglo-American neo-liberal and conservative ideas by intellectual counter-elites under the communist regime. It then examines the 'revolutionary conservatism' formulated by the Czech Right after 1989, focusing on its discourse of post-communist transformation and attempts to ground imported New Right ideas in the Czech context. Finally, the article considers the ideological tensions within 'Czech Thatcherism' and discusses alternative Czech readings of conservatism.
