The Concept Of The Political by Carl Schmitt
This seminal work delves into the essence of politics, positing that the fundamental distinction in political life is the friend-enemy dichotomy. It argues that politics is inherently about the existential struggle between groups, where the potential for conflict is ever-present. The text challenges liberal democratic ideals by emphasizing the primacy of sovereign power and decision-making in maintaining order and stability. Through a critical examination of political theory, it underscores the importance of recognizing the inherent antagonisms that shape political identities and actions.
