Sumario:The notion of nature, as far as "common sense" is concerned, has undergone transformations in the course of history, and the notion of such changes crosses the present in a transversal manner. Such impact comes to light through groups of society at the time of thinking and acting within ethical and political fields. In the following article it will be pointed out which are these changes suffered and why such reasonings lead to biopolitics of control over people's lives and bodies, contrasting the reality of the present with what is stated in Hannah Arendt's essay On Violence; analyzing these biologicist discourses where what science describes becomes normative through "organic metaphors".
