Description:
This book is the culmination of Heinrich Meier's acclaimed analyses of the controversial thought of Carl Schmitt. Meier identifies the core of Schmitt's thought as political theology -- that is, political theorizing that claims to have its ultimate ground in the revelation of a mysterious or supra-rational God. This radical, but half-hidden, theological foundation unities the whole of Schmitt's often difficult and complex oeuvre, cutting through the intentional deceptions and unintentional obfuscations that have eluded previous commentators.
Expand description
Relating this religious dimension to Schmitt's support for National Socialism and his continuing anti-Semitism, Meier compels us to come to terms with the irreconcilable differences between political theology and political philosophy. His book gives pause to those who have glossed over the troubling aspects of some of Schmitt's ideas.
