Reseña del editor:
Written in the intense political and intellectual ferment of the early years of the Weimar Republic, "Political Theology" develops the distinctive theory of sovereignty that marks Carl Schmitt as one of the most significant political and legal theoreticians of the 20th century.Focusing on the relationship between political leadership, the norms of the legal order, and the state of political emergency, Schmitt argues that the essence of sovereignty lies in the absolute authority to decide when the normal conditions presupposed by the legal order obtain. Because the norms of a legal system cannot govern a state of emergency, they cannot determine when such an exceptional state holds or what should be done to resolve it. Thus every legal order ultimately rests not upon norms, but rather on the decisions of the sovereign.Schmitt underpins this analysis of sovereignty and its commitment to the priority of decisions over norms with a "political theology," which argues that all the important concepts of modern political thought are secularized theological concepts, and a sociology of the concept of sovereignty, which argues that the conceptualization of the jurisprudence of an epoch is linked to the conceptualization of its social structure.He concludes with an attack on liberalism and its attempt to depoliticize political thought by avoiding fundamental moral and political decisions.Schmitt's unerring sense for the fundamental problems of modern politics and his systematic critique of the ideals and institutions of liberal democracy, a critique that has never been answered, distinguish him as one of the most original figures in the theory of modern politics. "Political Theology" is included in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.

First published in German in 1922, this is an important book, by a controversial writer, who is still influential and much read today. A clean, bright, and stain-free copy of the book itself, that on first glance looks like a brand new book, sturdy cloth binding is still crisp and fresh as new. BUT NOTE: Previous owner's name and date on blank front page, underlining and some margin notes on 11 pages in Chapter 2 only, with very faint age speckles to the top exterior page edges, book has no other notable flaws, otherwise would be Fine. The book is square and straight, quite firm and tight in its binding, no pages are loose, torn, folded, creased, or missing. The hinges are sound and undamaged, the corners sharp and unbumped. All pages are clean and stain-free, still bright and white, and all text is sharp and legible. The dustjacket is a bit ragged, with wear and some closed tears at the jacket edges and corners, and a tear on the jacket spine, near the bottom, with some paper loss. However, the jacket remains quite clean and stain-free, and is still basically intact. This 1st English edition is very hard to come by in any condition.
