Hegla naszego powszedniego. Buribunkowie Carla Schmitta jako satyryczna dystopia
Carl Schmitt’s Die Buribunken as a Satirical Dystopia

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on some early writings of the German legal and political thinker Carl Schmitt. During the First World War Schmitt published three essays in the Catholic journal Summa. In this paper I aver that those three articles – though remarkably various in content and literary form – are connected thematically and conceptually. The paper particularly attempts at an interpretation of Die Buribunken which is apparently only dystopian text in Schmitt’s oeuvre. I try to show in what ways it engages with modernity and Hegelian philosophy of history. I also point out rather surprising topicality of the text in the digital age.
