Abstract

This is a review about different resolutions, in Schmitt and Agamben, facing a coincident onto-politics perception: contingence in definition of Law, with a primary function of organization of a multiple social field, traditionally conceived as chaos. If Schmitt chooses an organic post-foundationalism, a politics of origin, Agamben opts for cancel the foundation of nomos attending to an ethical action. This article goes through the transcendent search of Schmitt and accompanies to Agamben among the aporethical politics he finds, emphasising political and unpolitical vectors that pierce the social topos, and concluding with messianic purpose, which tries to recover (multiple) potency (from the non-origin).
