Abstract

In this text we compare modern political philosophy, absolutism, especially Hobbes, with contemporary sociological thinking, from Adam Smith. The change, or the difference, is located in the notion of social productivity. For classical thought, social productivity culminates in the idea of virtue, rather absent in contemporary sociology. Above virtue Polo suggests that is the notion of person: its fecundity is the root of social productivity.
