This work shows why Hobbes’ project should be understood as truly radical. Through a reconfiguration of the ontological conditions of human community, substituting the scheme of representation for that of incarnation, Hobbes closes the era of the body politic and opens the way for that of the State person.

Review - French Qu'est-ce qu'une communaute ? En voulant donner a cette question toute la radicalite philosophique qui lui convient, Hobbes a ete conduit a interroger les conditions ontologiques d'un peuple. Le present ouvrage entend prendre au serieux la refondation de l'etre-ensemble qui oriente la pensee de Hobbes et qui l'a conduit a substituer le scheme de la representation a celui de l'incarnation qui prevalait jusqu'alors. Reconstituant les heritages conceptuels avec lequels Hobbes a eu a debattre, il montre alors comment celui-ci est parvenu a la disqualification historique de l'idee de corps politique tout en donnant naissance a la doctrine personnaliste de l'Etat, dont les enjeux juridiques et politiques n'ont cesse d'animer notre modernite.
