There is a strong unity of the « concept » of representation either aesthetical, metaphysical or political. Being a contemporary of Descartes and its philosophy of the sovereign subject, Hobbes institutes the a priori of the modern institution with the « representation ». In doing this, he appoints a new régime and plainly destitutes the «incarnational régime » as well as the idea of a body politic. Leviathan is not the image nor the name of the hobbesian State but on the contrary its tantalizing abuse.
