Description
Legal theorist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt makes the case in this, his most important work, that liberalism's foundation in individual rights cannot serve as a rational justification for sacrificing oneself for the state. This criticism is just as valid today as it was when it first appeared. Schmitt's intellectual journey through the volatile period of German history that led to the Hitlerian one-party state is highlighted in the preface by George Schwab to his translation of the 1932 German edition. This enlarged edition also contains a translation of Schmitt's 1929 lecture "The Age of Neutralizations and Depoliticizations," which the author himself added to the 1932 edition of the book. Leo Strauss' analysis and Tracy B. Strong's prologue place Schmitt's work in a modern context.
