Abstract

The figure of Moses assumes great emphasis in the chapter of the Contrat social by Rousseau dedicated to the legislator. In this essay we would like to clarify the meaning of this figure and its centrality in the formation of modern politics, relating it to the analysis of the character of Moses in the last book written by Freud. This crossed reading allows us to single out a properly cultural layer of politics, that which here we call political culture which does not mix with the constitutional level of the political law, but which does not dissolve either in the customs. The historical realisation of a politics centred on the contract depends, however, on its clarification.
