Greater Competition, Antagonism, and Enmity 29 emphasis is given, in this account, to solidarity with fellow members of a political community than to opposition to other communities. W. F. Hegel. The account given by Hegel of conflict between states bears less directly on enmity than do the accounts of Ferguson, Simmel, or Schmitt. The weight of Hegel’s argument is placed on mutual recognition amongst members of a community, as an aspect of the realisation or expression of identity, rather than on enmity towards supposed enemies.
Competition, Antagonism, and Enmity 19 actively hostile, has a significant role, in which it has to be distinct, different, oppositional. ’4 But this distinct, oppositional character has frequently been depicted as providing not simply an alternative identity, but a hostile one. That which is not us is not only different from us, but an enemy. The threat of enmity can be depicted by reference to the mere fact of difference, and without any evident hostile actions by the depicted other. It is this threat which has been seen as the second function of enmity narratives, the provision of meaning and rationale for government.
6 The principal exponent in social and political discussion of this view of enmity as desirable, is Adam Ferguson in his Essay on the History of Civil Society, published in 1767. Ferguson’s comments are not part of a systematic theory so much as observations in a broad and often discursive presentation. They have, partly for this reason, been more cited than discussed, and because they did not present themselves as part of any general sociological or historical theory, have been unduly neglected.
