Carl Schmitt : Lucidez y ceguera

Carl Schmitt was one of the most influential and controversial jurists of the 20th century. A brilliant theorist of the state and an implacable critic of liberalism and parliamentary democracy, his commitment to Nazism indelibly marked his legacy. This book traces Schmitt's life and intellectual trajectory: from his early writings in Wilhelmine Germany to his later reflections on war, technology, international order, and political theology. José Luis López de Lizaga rigorously analyzes the contradictions of a thinker capable of the most lucid diagnoses of the crisis of modernity, yet blinded by his own authoritarian convictions. The work also includes a study of Schmitt's contemporary reception, examining how authors such as Habermas, Koselleck, Mouffe, and Agamben have reinterpreted his categories to address the political dilemmas of the 21st century.
