Resumen. Este artículo tiene como objectivo plantear el problema de la relación entre el Estado y la soberanía en Jean Bodin. En la segunda mitad del Siglo Dieciséis y luego en el Siglo Diecisiete, la soberanía se entendió como un principio externo, que presupone la existencia de una asociación política. La terminología clásica queda entonces. Solo cuando la soberanía aparece como un elemento interno y constitutivo del cuerpo político, el término Estado tomará el lugar de la conceptualidad heredada de la tradición. Solo en esta fase específica de su desarrollo histórico-conceptual aparece el Estado como una realidad que existe en sí misma y, en consecuencia, la ciencia política se transforma en la teoría del Estado. Ciertamiente, por lo tanto, no en el pensamiento político de Jean Bodin.
Abtract. This article aims to pose the problem of the relationship between State and Sovereignty in Jean Bodin. In the second half of the Sixteenth Century and then in the Seventeenth Century, Sovereignty was understood as an external principle, presupposed to the existence of political association. Classical terminology then remains. Only when Sovereignty appears as an internal, constitutive element of the Political Body, will the term State permanently take the place of the conceptuality inherited from tradition. Only in this specific phase of its historical conceptual development does the State appear as a reality that exists in itself. Consequently, political science will become the Theory of the State. Certainly not therefore in Bodin’s political thought.
