Greek philosopher and intellectual historian (1943–1998)

On the one hand, Schmitt’s work and biography have been interpreted as an affirmative approach towards totalitarianism which is the cause of some embarrassment even today. On the other hand, we may identify a rise of political and philosophical reasoning that draws upon the work of Carl Schmitt positively. This rise is very much also an international phenomena with the work of Giorgio Agamben and Chantal Mouffe being indicative of a constructive, if critical, approach towards Schmitt and the way of thinking he came to represent. Cf. Giorgio Agamben State of Exception (Chicago 2005) and Chantal Mouffe (Ed.) The Challenge of Carl Schmitt (London 1999).
