Thomas Hobbes e la cristianità del Leviatano. Sulla duplice funzione della sovranità
Farnesi Camellone, Mauro
2018
Abstract
This essay proposes an interpretation of the Christian theological discourse developed in
Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan in order to show: 1) its theoretical-systematic value in the
definition of the political form, that is, of the conceptual articulation that sustains the
sovereignty device; 2) its complementarity to the performative trait of the Hobbesian
anthropological discourse, that is, to the determination of the profile of a specific form of
life, adapted to the sovereign order because capable of reproducing industriously within it
and which is, at the same time, the primary product of that order. This interpretation
shows that the Christian Commonwealth is the complete realization of the Hobbes’s
anthropological-political project.
