Desobediência civil ao poder soberano em La Boétie

Abstract

This text seeks to expose the notion of refusal in the service of a sovereign power present in Étienne de La Boétie's Discourse on Voluntary Servitude. To do so, a brief analysis of the work will be proposed from the point of view of being an innovation for the time in which it is thought and written and, above all, to form a set of resistance to power that manifests itself established and institutionalized as natural.
