Abstract

This article proposes a comparative study on Carl Schmitt and Michel Foucault’s interpretations of Hobbes' State Theory. The aim is to show the importance of that interpretation in relation to the notion of resistance. In this sense it is emphasized that Von Clausewitz's aphorism transposition –which both philosophers support– plays a different strategic part in his philosophical entirety systems: therefore, we don't wonder if Hobbes’s interpretation is correct or not; in our case the question is about the tactical sense of his thought appropriation.
