In \u003ci\u003eThe Lesson of Carl Schmitt\u003c\/i\u003e, Meier identifies the core of Schmitt's thought as political theology--that is, political theorizing that claims to have its ultimate ground in the revelation of a mysterious or suprarational God. This radical, but half-hidden, theological foundation underlies the whole of Schmitt's often difficult and complex oeuvre, rich in historical turns and political convolutions, intentional deceptions and unintentional obfuscations. In four chapters on morality, politics, revelation, and history, Meier clarifies the difference between political philosophy and Schmitt's political theology and relates the religious dimension of his thought to his support for National Socialism and his continuing anti-Semitism. New to this edition are two essays that address the recently published correspondences of Schmitt--particularly with Hans Blumberg--and the light it sheds on his conception of political theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinrich Meier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226518868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226518862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.03h x 8.86w x 0.56d","brand":"Heinrich Meier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086415540479,"sku":"9780226518862","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b24d2f60-ac59-4aa8-b4ba-db7c946b41d0.jpg?v=1769094542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lesson-of-carl-schmitt-heinrich-meier-9780226518862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
