Ellen Kennedy

Constitutional Failure

Carl Schmitt in Weimar

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The author's argument that Carl Schmitt's critique of Weimar Republic liberalism cannot be countered by reforming liberalism is also a contribution to current political theory and an analysis of contemporary liberalism.

---

""Constitutional Failure" provides a useful antidote for the talk dominant today of deliberative democracy, procedures, and dialogue, and so contributes in important ways to contemporary political theory as well as to an understanding of Carl Schmitt."--David Dyzenhaus, editor of "Law as Politics: Carl Schmitt's Critique of Liberalism"
