Sumario:“AN AGAMBENIAN ANALYSIS OF EMBRYOLOGY: Soul, Life and Death”, being a thematic research, and not a structural reading of texts, seeks, from a thought based on the philosophical work of Giorgio Agamben, to analyze the issue of embryology, in particular by historically reconstituting a philosophical argument that would have intended this problem and placed it in a zone of deformation of contemporaneity. To this end, a heuristic and tentative survey will be made of what Aristotle proposed – in De Anima – about the psykhé, as well as its medieval readings and criticisms, namely, Aristotle, Averroes and Thomas Aquinas, constituting the notion of agent intellect in the typical abstraction process of the psykhé's intellective function. Then, in the second chapter – starting from what was proposed in O Aberto, by Agamben –, it will be about presenting the normal biological discourse of contemporaneity about embryonic development, marking the temporal limits so that one can think what is meant currently by “embryo”; Furthermore, Bichat's French vitalism is also presented from Foucauldian archeology, diagnosing the emergence of the notion of life, as well as its opposition to death and the tension producing subjectivities and desubjectivations - more punctually as explained by Levinas in opposition to Heidegger. Finally, in the third chapter, establishing the Agambenian theory more firmly, the ways of managing the life and death of these cellular bodies devoid of valuation and forms of resistance will be weighed; for this, some advances made by Esposito are also indicated – the base texts for this research topic will be: the collection of Homo Sacer and Reflections on the Pest, by Agamben, and Bios: Biopolitics and Philosophy, and Policy Terms: Community , Immunity, Biopolitics, by Esposito. It ends by pointing out the opposite of what is built around the problem of embryology in Philosophy, highlighting the political problem that has been placed on this cellular body and how this implies a specific relationship between the life-death pair, not only because of the insufficiency of the theory Aristotelian approach to the problem, but in constituting knowledge-power relations that dominate and constitute subjects and bodies from a certain management over the corporeal and knowing potential of a certain potential subject
