If this inquiry is taking us into the discussion of Zoe, can i recommend
David Farrell Krell's Daimon Life (Indiana, 1993) and Heidegger, The
Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics (Indiana 1992)?
This opens up some (more) interesting comparisons between Heidegger and
Foucault.
Thanks for the thought Roberto
