Bøker av Carl Schmitt

Carl Schmitt ranks among the original and controversial political thinkers of the twentieth century. This book contains translations of Schmitt's 1958 commentary on the work, explanatory notes, and an appendix including articles of the Weimar constitution.

The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy offers a powerful criticism of the inconsistencies of representative democracy.Described both as "the Hobbes of our age" and as "the philosophical godfather of Nazism," Carl Schmitt was a brilliant and controversial political theorist whose doctrine of political leadership and critique of liberal democratic ideals distinguish him as one of the most original contributors to modern political theory. The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy offers a powerful criticism of the inconsistencies of representative democracy. First published in 1923, it has often been viewed as an attempt to destroy parliamentarism; in fact, it was Schmitt's attempt to defend the Weimar constitution. The introduction to this new translation places the book in proper historical context and provides a useful guide to several aspects of Weimar political culture. The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy is included in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.

Man må ikke ha rett for å skape rett: Makt, ikke sannhet, skaper rett. Carl Schmitt har vært en intellektuell magnet for så vel venstre - som høyreradikale teoretikere, først og fremst innen jus og statsvitenskap. I de senere tiårene har vi opplevd en slags Schmitt-renessanse, først og fremst blant venstreradikale politiske filosofer (bl.a. Giorgio Agamben, Chantal Mouffe, Antonio Negri, Slavo Zizek) - men i det aller siste også på høyrepolitisk hold: ikke bare i Polen, Ungarn og Østerrike, men også i USA, i Donald Trumps ideologiske nærområde, nykonservatismen. Utgivelsen tar sikte på å vise bredden i Schmitts forfatterskap gjennom et halvt hundreår med et tyngdepunkt i hans politiskrettslige skrifter. Han var en av 1900-tallets mest kjente tenkere rundt spørsmålet om politisk maktutøvelse, og tekstutvalget presenterer tekster som gir introduksjoner til og analyser av begreper som «politikk», «stat» og «legalitet» i Schmitts teori. Utvalg og innledning ved Rune Slagstad.CARL SCHMITT (1888-1985), professor i rettsvitenskap i Bonn og Berlin 1922-1945, var en av det 20.århundres betydeligste - og mest omstridte - politiske teoretikere. Omstridt på grunn av sitt forhold til nasjonalsosialismen under regimets første år; men senere kom Schmitt på kant med nazistene og ble i stor grad isolert fra 1937. Etter krigen forble han vitenskapelig og politisk isolert, men viet seg til folkerettslige studier og utga i 1950 et av sine hovedverk, "Der Nomos der Erde".
