- Abstract
This article deals with Jean-Jacques Rousseau's "body" [corps], "bind" [lien], and "bond" [noeud] metaphors and analyzes the role of these metaphors in understanding his political philosophy. Rousseau's concepts of general will, sovereignty, government, law, and society are enriched and enhanced in their meanings when the multiple uses of metaphors such as "the will of the people as a body", "body politic", "subjects in a body", "an intermediary body", "two bodies", "body of the State", "the artificial body of the Government", "body of the people", "the body of man", "death of the body politic" "body of the nation" etc. are applied. On one hand, the use of these metaphors shows how narrow and reductionist are attempts to define the philosopher's approach as "organicist", on the other hand, they should be regarded as starting points in terms of updating his notions of equality and liberty. Rousseau's normative approach appears as a critique of a political reality rather than as a utopia. The metaphors of the body, bind, and bond indicate the strategy of "encircling the real" while developing a normative order.
