Carl Schmitt — The Concept of the Political (2007)

Library of Congress Classification: JA74.S313 2007

Shelf Path: lib/j/a/71_80/schmittConceptPolitical2007.html

This note reflects on Schmitt’s treatment of the political as a friend–enemy distinction, situating the concept not as a policy platform but as a boundary condition of the political itself. This 2007 edition includes critical commentary that updates the framing for post-9/11 geopolitics and sovereignty debates.

Annotations

The political is not everything, but the existential ground of everything political.
