| description | This paper aims to situate the problem of military service in the thought of Jacques Derrida. The first part retraces this issue in The Beast and the Sovereign seminar, between Hobbes’s Leviathan and three classic fables. The second part solicits some classic references, Rousseau, Heidegger, Renan, in order to question conscription such as is at issue exemplarily in contemporary France. The third and last part convokes Kant, the Catholic Church, and the issue of death penalty, before sketching the role of military service in deconstruction’s point of view over cosmopolitism. |
