1. The Enemy
An Intellectual Portrait of Carl Schmitt
A concise intellectual portrait of Carl Schmitt that traces the development and implications of his core ideas—most notably the friend–enemy distinction, decisionism, sovereignty, and political theology—situating them in the crises of Weimar Germany and his entanglement with Nazism; the book analyzes Schmitt’s critique of liberalism, his theories of exception and authority, and the tensions and moral dangers in his thought while assessing its continuing resonance for understanding modern political conflict.
