Ebook: The Enemy : An Intellectual Portrait of Carl Schmitt

This is a comprehensive reconstruction and analysis of all of Schmidtt's major works. It reveals the complex ways in which his ideas took shape in the intertwining timelines of civil and world wars. "The writings of Carl Schmitt form what is arguably the most disconcerting, original, and yet still unfamiliar body of twentieth-century political thought. In the English-speaking world, he is terra incognita, a name associated with Nazism, and the author of a largely untranslated oeuvre forming no recognizable system, which comes to us from a disturbing place and time in the form of fragments."
