Abstract
Two recent books – Giorgio Agamben, Filosofia prima, filosofia ultima (Torino, 2023) and Massimo Cacciari, Metafisica concreta (Milano, 2023) – challenge today’s dominance of technoscience that seems to silence the philosophical question itself. So Agamben starts from a radically external position, given the in-working life form, Cacciari goes back to the metaphysical discourse, grafting an eschatological tension into it. Methodical questions are raised for a contextual and political genealogy of metaphysics and science, recalling recent ontological instances of the life sciences.
