Summary/Abstract: Starting especially from the contributions of Max Weber, the author restores the political and theological affiliation of the concept of vocation, and dwells on the importance of the operation through which represents as the analogue of transcendence compared to the subject – otherness and therefore, radical exteriority – has to be always internalized. He shows how this internalized transcendence is converted into indeterminacy, thus resulting the splitting of the subject under two unlike possible basis for the difference between power and authority. In the context are also redefined the meaning of the concept of secularization time as well as architectonic chiasm amongst “the top” and “the bottom”, which sheds a new light on modern political system of representativeness.
