Abstract

This paper focuses attention on the notion of “people” that underlies the concept of resistance of John Locke. This notion will be approached pursuant to the Schmittian categories of the sovereign and the political, and the Foucauldian notions of obedience, resistance and power, as well as, the concept of hegemonic logic set out by Laclau and Mouffe. From this perspective, we will be able to distinguish the formulation of the right of resistance, with its debts to the medieval tradition and its normative framework, from the factual dimension of the concept of resistance.
