Wladimir Berelowitch, Fonvizin's "Discourse on the laws" : subversive ethics.
This article is a commentary on the "Discourse on the immutable laws of state" written by Fonvizin for Count Panin in 1783. Faced with two classical interpretations of this text - aristocratic "Fronde" and French Enlightenment on the one hand, and the Germanic natural law on the other hand -, the author purports to demonstrate by means of a detailed analysis of texts that both these ideological trends co-exist in Fonvizin's mind though at different levels. It is the "telescoping" between them that forces him into a very radical ethical protest, concentrated on the person of the sovereign and "subverting" the legal and institutional framework.
