Medieval imaginary, Modern imaginary, Compensatory passions, Modern stateAbstract
The article aims to investigate how the principle of compensatory passions, that is, the way of dealing with the passions that defend the conflict between them as a way of reaching a balance, contributed to the construction of the modern state of democratic matrix and liberal, recognized as the basis of the tradition of constitutionalism. Based on the bibliographical method, Albert Hirschman hypothesized in his essay "Passions and interests", that is, that the engineering of modern political power is based on the aforementioned principle; with the aim of showing a contrast between two world views on the way to deal with the passions, the historical aspect about the difference between the medieval and modern imaginaries about the passions was deepened. The justification of the theme is related to the importance of understanding the history of the relationship between politics, rights and affects in modernity.
