Abstract

From an ethical and ontological view of life, it is accepted that life has its own entity. An entity that does not cease to be such under a full recognition of the legal entity of all living things and their capabilities of agency, since that would imply not a hierarchical-symbolic float with an anthropocentric significance, but a discursive float with a biocentric significance; much more wide and egalitarian (and not neces­sarily antihumanist). To that extent, the main objective of this article is to relate in a reflective and philosophical way the vast and complex universe of the natural (nature) to the anthropocentric, hierarchical and exclusive features of the contractualism phi­losophy. For the purposes of this text, contractualism philosophy will be centered on the problem of the legitimacy of sovereignty at the beginning of the modern state with the Hobbesian human conflict and in today geopolitical relations.
