As Miguel Vatter states in his 2021 book Living Law: Jewish Political Theology From Hermann Cohen to Hannah Arendt, the partition of the globe at the hands of the expansionist territorial sovereign nation-states through imperialism, colonialism, and world war has given rise by all groups to demand their rights to become a nation-state, and for every human being to be legally and politically recognized. Despite this rampant nation-building, however, persists the effect of statelessness, persecution, and forced migration. Vatter employs political theology as a critical tool to expose and reconfigure the various theological underpinnings of the nation-state, such as sovereignty. His model of a Jewish political theology of sovereignty follows that the seat of the sovereign must remain empty. Interestingly, he concludes Living Law with a final interlude about how Simone Weil's Pythagorean writings in Descente de Dieu might act as a preeminent model of the empty throne. For Giorgio Agamben, the empty throne is the negativity of the Creator Father's presence, which was appropriated as the means of an analogy between Christ king and the human sovereign. Agamben's thesis is thus that this "anarchy" is the hidden structure of liberal government. Qualifying Agamben, Vatter leads from Martin Buber who offers Jewish theocracy as the displacement of a human sovereign in place of YHWH, thereby installing a model of negative political theology. This presentation will further expand upon Vatter's proposal that Weil's thought might be characterized be a negative political theology of the empty throne.
