Abstract

This thesis seeks to analyze the relationship between religion and politics in Machiavelli's work. To do this, we divide the thesis into three chapters. The first one is dedicated to rebuild Machiavelli's analysis of pagan religion and christian religion in order to explain their differences, but also the political character of both. Moreover, this chapter shows that Machiavelli understands religion and politics as orders configured as a bilateral belief structure, in which the representation of the great and the popular imagination are articulated. The second chapter appeals to the cases of Moses and Savonarola to show the way in which this representation associated with the great is exercised. Since representation implies the projection of an image by the leader, which promotes a symbolic exchange with the people, it is observed here that the difference between the two leaderships is the result of the different symbolic force of the projected image. Finally, the third chapter focuses on clarifying the
status of the people in this relationship of symbolic exchange, based on the analysis and restitution of the dimensions of desire, appearance, belief and imagination. This study shows that the people perceive reality through the dimension of imagination, which is crossed by desires and beliefs materialized in institutional traditions and shared values, which must be taken into account by the great leaders at the time of governing.Idioma: spa
