The notion of “Kingdom” helps the author to settle a negative evaluation of political modernity, which condenses in rationalism and its dominant configuration: the “rational” State. In this context, we underline the critique of liberalism, as a theory and political system, the central moment of the political disintegration. In contrast, the “monarchy social and representative” emerges as a historical model which is equivalent to a proper realization of what is known as the classic city or political community.32 p.spaKingdomSocial and representative monarchyCommunityExileRationalismRational StateLiberalism.Artículo
