Combining Franz Rosen- zweig's reflections which concern the sick philosopher and Hegel's state, as well as Derrida's interpretation of the different attributes of violence, our aim is also to give full evidence of Derrida's critical reading of Levinas. The first part illustrates the various classifications of the figures of violence from the different periods of Hegel's life and the traces that these figures have left in Levinas' texts beginning with 'Libert6 et commandement' in 1953. In the second part we discuss Hegel's well-known analogy from his Rechtsphilosophie on sovereignty and the organism- that is to say the parallel reading of some paragraphs of Naturphilosophie too-and the relation between totality and violence, in Levinas' 'ontology as allergy' and in Derrida's autoimmunology. Keywords Allergy - Homeopathy - Immunology - Other - Philosopher Sovereignty - Sickness - Violence I insist upon the word 'other', o allos,1 a foreigner and the other who is left behind, who is an other, another. How should (I hesitate to speak about thematisation and Allergy was first spoken of in Vienna, in German. Der Wiener Kinderarzt, Clemens Freiherr von Pirquet, published a text about allergy in the journal Muncher Medizinische Wochenschrift in 1906. The Greek root of this word is, of course, made up. Through an analogy with the word en-ergeia (internal bodily force), von Pirquet makes the word all-e'rgeia, 'als Ausdruck von Reaktionen auf korperfremde Stoffe'. P.
