Summary/Abstract: Revived discussions on Carl Schmitt as a legal and political writer move in the closed circle of criticism and apologetics. Is his definition of the criteria of the political a sufficient contribution to the theory for him to be considered "-the youngest classic of politics-? Insistence on the notion of the enemy-friend opposition ignores Schmitt’s continued interest in unity that he would manifest in a substantially determined notion of nation as a relevant political unit and in the notion of the national state. Criticism of the parliamentary party state is a result of Schmitt's insufficient appreciation of the social pluralism.
