Carl Schmitt – The Sheet Music of Illiberal Democracy

Author(s): Zoltán Bretter
Subject(s): History and theory of political science
Published by: MTA Politikai Tudományi Intézete
Keywords: Carl Schmitt; illiberal democracy; liberalism; romanticism; leader

Summary/Abstract: This study is of a mixed genre, in a „crossover” style. The genre is imposed, as we have to be on dialectical standby when discussing ”the Political” (das Politische), the apolitical, de-politicization (first part) and politics on the other hand. My method is neither a philological analysis, nor a historical-political description exclusively, while it contains both approaches, with the aim not to give a definition, but rather to map theoretically illiberal democracy, following in the footsteps of Carl Schmitt (second part).
