Abstract

On the basis of an analysis of the concept of body politic in Hobbes, this article tries to think of the importance of language in the constitution of political science. The representation of political order as an artificial order and the theory of person as representative are elements incompatible with the description of the society like an organic totality. However, the metaphor of the body politic seems so essential to any conceptualization of the Commonwealth (Civitas) that, far from refusing it, Hobbes gives it a new sense.
