From the Transcendent Sovereignty of Mono Theos to Immanent Sovereignty of the Politician

This article begins with the thesis that secular political sovereignty establishes its legitimacy and creates related dispositions on the political theological model of monotheist domination. we discuss the monotheist and particularly christian concept of sovereignty through the theologico-politics and economic paradigm of schmitt and agamben. the major theories of sovereignty (machiavelli, bodin, hobbes, rousseau, montesquieu) are shortly mentioned in this context. the fiction of “the king’s two bodies”, the dispositions of representation of the invisibility of the sovereign and the articulation mechanisms of authority and power in the west european monarchies are discussed as the secular readings of monotheism.
