Abstract

This paper intends to explain why Hobbes adopts a corporatist perspective in order to account for the social and political dynamics of the Leviathan. Specifically, we will attempt to demonstrate that the ordering of the political society in the form of systems conducted by representatives enables Hobbes to establish certain rules in the development of public conflicts. That is to say, in essence, the ascription of accountability. Furthermore, as a subsidiary hypothesis, it will be argued that the centrality of the theory of representation is a result of Hobbes' aim to erase, not political conflict as such, but only its irregular setup. // El propósito del presente trabajo consiste en explicar por qué Hobbes adopta una perspectiva corporativista para dar cuenta de la dinámica social y política que opera al interior del Leviatán. En concreto, intentaremos demostrar cómo el ordenamiento de la sociedad política en sistemas conducidos por representantes le permite a Hobbes establecer ciertas pautas en el desenvolvimiento de los conflictos públicos, fundamentalmente, la asignación de responsabilidades. A su vez, como hipótesis subsidiaria, argüiremos que el rol de la teoría de la representación es central en la medida en que Hobbes no pretende eliminar la disputa política como tal, sino tan sólo deshacerse de su modalidad irregular.
