Katechón y flujo. El Avicena de Ernst Bloch como antídoto a la teología política

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: This work articulates, from the book Avicenna and the Aristotelian Left by Ernst Bloch, a critique of the spatio-temporal structure of Schmittian political theology. Instead of thinking space-time sustained by the figure of the katechon, where concepts such as the state of exception and enmity make sense as the sustenance of the political, in Bloch's Avicenna the flow of matter is the source of every relation, where sovereignty itself is nothing more than a possible resource, but overflowed by the movement of the being to which it belongs.
