Book excerpt: The liberal way of war and the liberal way of rule are correlated; this book traces that correlation to liberalism's original commitment to 'making life live'. Committed to making life live, liberalism is committed to waging war on behalf of life, specifically to promote the biopolitical life of species being; what the book calls 'the biohuman'. The book explains how, in making life live, liberal rule finds its expression, today, in making the biohuman live the emergency of its emergence.
