Abstract
Los análisis sobre la filosofía política hobbesiana suelen girar alrededor del estudio del miedo y de cómo este es el factor fundamental para explicar el surgimiento de la soberanía. Este artículo tiene como objetivo ir más allá del concepto de temor como base articuladora de la política y centrar el análisis en un terreno fundamental sin el cual no se explica el Leviatán: la alteridad entendida como enemistad. Un análisis de la específica otredad que pone en juego Hobbes a través de su perspectiva mecanicista permitirá entender los diferentes matices que esta visión incorpora, así como las consecuencias que derivan de una filosofía política basada en una concepción negativa de la compañía. El texto explorará las líneas de articulación del concepto de enemistad hobbesiana tanto desde el punto de vista del interior del Estado como desde una perspectiva interestatal.
The studies of Hobbesian political philosophy usually revolve around the study of fear and how it is the fundamental factor to explain the emergence of sovereignty. This article aims to go beyond the concept of fear as the articulating basis of politics and to focus the analysis on a fundamental domain without which Leviathan cannot be explained: alterity understood as enmity. An analysis of the specific otherness that Hobbes puts into play through his mechanical perspective will allow us to understand the different nuances which this vision incorporates, as well as the consequences that derive from a political philosophy based on a negative conception of the company. The text will explore the lines of articulation of the concept of Hobbesian enmity both from the point of view of the interior of the State and from an interstate perspective.
