The Hylomorphic Conception of Modern Sovereign State. A Philosophical Approach

In this paper, I propose the hypothesis according to which the modern sovereign State responds to a “hylomorphic conception” that prevailed after the Peace of Westphalia (1648) as a consequence of a long process in which the philosophical representations of  the political underwent progress...

As we will see, the State conceived in this way no longer makes it possible to understand the essence of the political either as a soul capable, in extremis, of altering its territorial expression –or even of maintaining its unity in the diaspora– or as a body that admits a plurality of active or rule principles. Moreover, the “new political entity” forged by baroque philosophy –which is in evident continuity with the tradition that goes back to the Greeks– remains, despite the passage of time, the core of current international law, to such an extent that the fundamental properties that this law attributes to sovereignty are, in my view, the juridical transposition of this hylomorphic composition. En este artículo desarrollamos la hipótesis de que el Estado soberano moderno responde a una “concepción hilemórfica” que se impuso tras la Paz de Westfalia (1648) como resultado de un largo proceso de reformulación de las representaciones filosóficas de lo político. Como veremos, el Estado así concebido ya no permitirá pensar la esencia de lo político ni como un alma que puede in extremis mudar de expresión territorial –o incluso sostener su unidad en la diáspora–, ni como un cuerpo que admite pluralidad de principios rectores. Más aún, la “nueva entidad política” forjada por la filosofía del Barroco –en manifiesta continuidad con la tradición que remonta a los griegos– sigue siendo, pese al paso del tiempo, el nervio del actual derecho internacional, a punto tal que los rasgos fundamentales que este atribuye a la soberanía son a nuestro entender la transposición jurídica de dicha composición hilemórfica.   Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2023-12-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/12985 10.34096/ahamm.v57.2.12985 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 57 Núm. 2 (2023) 1853-1555 1514-9927 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/12985/12314 Derechos de autor 2023 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
