This article examines the place of phenomenology within Esposito’s thought on the impolitical. In order to do this, this piece firstly expounds the task of Deconstructionism within the framework of Esposito’s general thoughts about the community. Secondly, it shows the meaning and the relevance that the categories of subject and substance have for the metaphysical tradition of political philosophy. Finally, the article delves into the author’s reading of Arendt’s phenomenology when it comes to the concept of origin. The main purpose (...) of this article is to show the ways in which the impolitical becomes a thought of the community which bears within itself the denial of the political as the effort of a metaphysical subject to make the origin visible as a phenomenon.

This paper proposes a reinterpretation of Arendt’s political thought from the ecological perspective in the context of the crisis that arose from the emergence of the modern world. Firstly, this crisis is described as stemming from the following reasons: the great transformation of the human condition by technology, the displacement of common sense and sensitive knowledge by science, and the possibility of annihilation of life on Earth. Secondly, the paper points out the way in which Arendt redirects this situation towards (...) a phenomenology of public space. Finally, the work shows how the foundations for looking after the Earth in the public sphere can be found in our sensitive roots to the Earth and in its way of appearing. (shrink)

En el presente artículo se presenta la lectura de El Político de Gracián desde la pregunta acerca de la constitución del éthos político para cualquier república y, concretamente, para la Monarquía Hispánica. Para ello, en primer lugar, tras situar la cuestión desde la perspectiva hegeliana, el trabajo aborda el sentido que tiene en Gracián el modelo ideal pergeñado a partir de la figura de Fernando el Católico. En segundo lugar, se adentra desde aquí en el carácter que debe revestir la (...) fundación de una monarquía para que sea perdurable en el tiempo. A continuación, el artículo expone el desafío que supuso, en el albur de la modernidad, la teoría de Maquiavelo y de Bodino, mostrando, finalmente, de qué modo Gracián fundamenta la constitución del éthos político a partir de la figura modélica del gobernante.
