Description
Carl Schmitt: A Disturbing Legacy in Post-War European Thought Jan-Werner Müller explores the enduring influence of Carl Schmitt, a 20th-century philosopher whose ideas have shaped both right-wing and left-wing thought in Europe. Despite his association with the Nazis, Schmitt's work has had a profound impact on post-war political and legal discourse. This book provides a fresh account of Schmitt's life and career, tracing the permutations of his ideas after World War II and relating them to broader European developments. Müller assesses the current uses of Schmitt's thought in debates about globalization and liberal world order, as well as its relevance to the liberalization of political thinking in post-authoritarian societies. Müller offers new insights into the persistent vulnerabilities and blind spots of certain strands of Western liberalism, making this book a valuable contribution to our understanding of modern politics.
