Ex Captivitate Salus by Carl Schmitt
Erfahrungen der Zeit 1945/47
Composed during postwar captivity, this brief, aphoristic work intertwines personal reflection with political theology to meditate on defeat, guilt, and the search for inner freedom; it interrogates the tension between legality and legitimacy, the state of exception and enmity, and critiques victors’ justice, ultimately portraying imprisonment as a paradoxical site of spiritual clarity and the possibility of redemption.
