| Sumario: | Two notions show the logocentrism on which the thinking of political philosophy is based: the notion of zoon politikon and the notion of public space. While the first poses that man’s humanity is fully presented in the logos, the second one states that this full humanity is given to see in public space and the proximity of speech that this space guarantees. In other words: the logocentrism of political philosophy affirms the following: human’s condition presents itself when man speaks, and it is fully presented when man speaks in public space. The primordial unity between body and word remains, thus, as the most important condition of politics. This hypothesis, which describes the close relationship between logocentrism and political philosophy, has an origin: Aristotle’s Politics. From this text, which Rancière refers to in La Mésentente, we will try to develop in the following pages how these notions and this logocentrism operate in Aristotle, Rousseau, Arendt and Rancière. |
