Joseph Vialatoux is the main figure in social Catholicism in France in the first half of the twentieth century. During the Nazi occupation he examined the nature of Pétain’s government in Vichy and the legitimacy of resistance of General de Gaulle. Apart from a detailed analysis of the Vichy’s power, which Vialatoux reveals as a totalitarian regime, he deals with general philosophical reflections on political power. It may be surprising for some that here the author uses the scholastic model, which can already be found in works more than three hundred years earlier in the political thinking of Francisco Suárez. This theoretical analysis then helps the author defend the ideas of the legitimacy of the resistance of General de Gaulle, in which Vialatoux sees a representative of the national consciousness and defending the general welfare of the French nation.

In the present text, we provide a commentary on Hobbes' political theory, written by a philosopher from Lyon Joseph Vialatoux. Vialatoux attempts to place this classic philosophical concept of political power based on materialism into new contexts. He sees an analogy between Hobbes' thinking and the totalitarian systems of the twentieth century, Nazism and Communism. What applies to the Hobbes state – Leviathan, which is just a machine and man just part of this bureaucratic-mechanical system, also applies to all totalitarian systems that have emerged in history. Vialatoux reminds us that specific politics and political power is always born in a wider philosophical and cultural context.

The article completes the study of totalitarianism in the twentieth century. In the first part of the text, we reviewed Joseph Vialatoux’s commentary on Hobbes’ political theory. In the second part, which we present here, we draw conclusions and general principles. Vialatoux is of the opinion that every totalitarianism is a form of naturalism. There are two main forms here. The first form is Hobbes philosophy, while the second is Durkheim’s sociologism. In response to totalitarianism, Vialatoux formulates the philosophy of mind. He then develops the theme of freedom. He distinguishes between inner and outer freedom. In conclusion, he speaks of order and authority as necessary conditions for human freedom.

This article presents the work of the French thinker and economist Pierre‑Yves Gomez (* 1960). This author or seeks to define the neoliberal model of economics and society, and defends the principles of the Christian social doctrine. Against the background of Gomez’s texts, I attempt to show that the current neoliberal model can lead to a totalitarian conception of power in society. The main manifestation of neoliberalism is the obscuration of genuine human labour and concrete material values. These are replaced by speculation. According to Gomez, the company’s goal, which lies in the development of human persons and society as a whole, is replaced by financial gain. Gomez fights for the human person, concrete human work and the real material world, which are the prerequisites of a just society.
