La modernité́ politique et ses crises

The book series “La modernité politique et ses crises” examines the contemporary crisis of sovereignty. From Machiavelli to Hegel, modern political thought views history as the advent of human freedom, with the state as its essential conceptual condition. Sovereignty, defined by Bodin as “absolute and perpetual power,” long structured national identities. In the 21st century, globalization, unchecked economic liberalism, and European integration have severely weakened it, promoting market dominance and fluid identities. Sovereignist movements call for a return to the nation, yet genuine cosmopolitanism requires sovereign states cooperating under common rules. Technoscience further deepens the profound identity crisis of contemporary humanity.
