Antonio Rivera’s last publication, El dios de los tiranos, is a philosophical archive of the temptations of the State to get absolute sovereignty between Middle and Contemporary Age. His analysis of the fundamental political doctrines shows three historical passions —absolutism, counterrevolution and totalitarianism— which culminate in National Socialism and Carl Schmitt’s theoretical transfiguration. The controversial of this view asks for explaining how the secularization of some political concepts —representation, demos, sovereignty of the populate, division of powers…— in modern democracies, needs from loyalty, trust or some creed in comparison with all the absolutisms.
