The regicide of Louis XVI has long been considered the preeminent founding act of the French Republic. No mere execution, the regicide entailed the sacrifice of a sacred being whose death gave life to the republic. Using the work of Georges Bataille, I argue that the sacrifice of Louis XVI led not to the establishment of a new absolute, but rather its wasteful loss. By attacking the archenemy of the people, the French revolutionaries eliminated a potent symbol of universal, rational thought & thus inaugurated acephalic philosophy, thought unburdened by universality. 38 References.
