Abstract

The present article compares how Jacques Rancière and Leo Strauss think the relation between the natural and the artificial, between physis and nomos. This discussion will be approached under the light of the question of the possibility of a political theory that surpass the negativity moment. The restitution of the ways in which the French author link physis and nomos will take part in the first section of the article. The second one will go further Rancière’s ways through Leo Strauss’s arguments of political philosophy’s teachings, particularly those about the relation between the natural and the artificial
