The conception of the state as an organ that translates an automatic social solidarity for being an entire entity preexisting any political relationships, the distinction of despotism as a regime that implies the complete absorption of individuals by the political apparatus, the problem of the growing enlargement of the state interventions in the individuals private life sphere, and the issue of the incapacity of the political action to transform the society morphology appear in the proposed analysis to be the main milestones of the problems that are displayed in the borders of this main scene.
