Thus, the work is divided into two parts: the first, a sociological and historical dialogue with Aristotle, Hobbes and Mouffe is exerted on the concept of politics to understand it as a constant tension between the exercise and the dispute over the power; derivative thereof, the second part exposes the political opposition category and modes as often is assumed.
