Abstract

The text analyzes Franco Fornari’s reflection on war as both a continuation and a surpassing of Freud’s thought. Drawing on the Freud–Einstein correspondence, Fornari conceives war as the outcome of a paranoid elaboration of mourning, that is, the projection of guilt and the death drive onto an external object. The atomic situation renders this mechanism untenable, since the destruction of the enemy now coincides with self-destruction. Hence the need for a return to the subject and a desovereignization of the State—the foundations of a possible “depressive revolution” that would subordinate political sovereignty to the laws of individual ethical responsibility, redefining war as a collective crime.
