Pouvoirs n°67 - novembre 1993 - La souveraineté - p.21-32
From both a chronological and logical point of view, the demand for sovereignty expresses the substitution of the « horizontal legitimacy » of the sovereign people with the « vertical legitimacy » of the régimes based on divine right.
Neither reason nor rationality may justify or invalidate it. It represents the juridical translation of the perceived sociological fact that is the Nation. It stands at the crossroads of the weberian genesis of modernity, whereby the society and the economy are seen as products of the « desenchantment of the world », and of the schmittian genesis, according to which, the State and poUtics are stiU structured by the theologico-political principle - much more theological that one beheves or wishes it to be.
