The legacies of both \u003cbr\u003eSchmitt, the German legal theorist and thinker who joined the Nazi party, and Strauss, the \u003cbr\u003eGerman-Jewish classicist and political philosopher who became famous after his emigration \u003cbr\u003eto the United States, are highly controversial. Since the 1990s, however, these thinkers have \u003cbr\u003ehad a powerful resonance for Chinese scholars. Today, when Chinese intellectuals debate the \u003cbr\u003eChinese state, the future role of China in the world, the liberal international order, and even \u003cbr\u003ethe meaning of Confucian civilization, they often employ Schmittian and Straussian concepts \u003cbr\u003elike \"the political,\" \"friend-enemy,\" \"state of exception,\" \"liberal education,\" and \"natural \u003cbr\u003eright.\" The very possibility of a genuine Chinese political theory is often thought to be tied to \u003cbr\u003ethe legacy of these two thinkers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume explores this complex phenomenon with a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary \u003cbr\u003eapproach. The twelve essays in this volume are written from a range of perspectives by philosophers, \u003cbr\u003epolitical theorists, historians, and legal scholars from China, Germany, Taiwan, \u003cbr\u003eand the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kai Marchal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498536263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498536264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Kai Marchal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124187001087,"sku":"9781498536264","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e607f79c-6a48-46d7-b4b3-6177d21135ea.jpg?v=1687435257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carl-schmitt-and-leo-strauss-kai-marchal-9781498536264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
