Regime / Political Regime
Abstract
This work explores the different uses and meanings that has been given to the voice regime. The original Latin expression regime, like its synonymous gubernare, were a translation of the Greek term khubernao: the art of sailing ships. This semantic nucleus of government was constituted into a simile for other practices: the direction of the souls in medieval Christianity and the politics in modernity. The article explores this series of extrapolations starting with the relationship between regime and regnum, then government and state, and ending with political regime and democracy.
