The body is the missing link in political thought. From the dawn of political thought in ancient Greece, the body has been seen as a secondary, instrumental, naked, anonymous, inferior, and even obstacle to salvation. The body was considered a degraded thing that should always be under the leadership of the mind and be the executor of its commands. This angle of view has always confronted the authoritarian mind/body hierarchy in the history of political thought, and this hierarchy has led to a long-standing duality throughout the history of thought. The hierarchical relationship of mind/body has always been the dominant duality in the history of political thought, both in Greece, in the period of Scholasticism and in modernity. The culmination of this authoritarian duality can be seen in the second half of the twentieth century, during which ideologies that embodied the mind created chaos in which millions of bodies perished. This policy can be called " Thanatopolitics ". But in the history of political thought, we encounter a distinct figure who, for the first time, attempts to present a "life-oriented politics" by overthrowing the mind/body duality: Spinoza. A policy in which the body and consequently the "life" become not the "other" but the axis and foundation of political thought.
