This book is an investigation into Carl Schmitt's critical thinking
regarding the alleged deficiencies he identified in modern
liberalism. Noted jurist, constitutional scholar, and a fierce
critic of liberalism and pluralism, Schmitt mounted a sustained
attack on the defects of the Weimar constitution between 1916 and
1934, contending that what Germany needed was a strong decisive
leader to maintain political unity. This book provides a concise
and clear explanation of Schmitt's disagreements with other
constitutional scholars, from his time as a university graduate up
until Hitler's rise to power. Although these disagreements were
couched in legal terminology, they represented political criticisms
that went directly to the heart of modern democracy, culminating in
Schmitt's defence of the Reich against Prussia in the
constitutional crisis of 1932. The book concludes with a strenuous
defence of modern liberalism in response to the Schmittian
critique. Thus, this book is not just an exploration of Carl
Schmitt's work, but a response to one of the harshest attacks on
the modern liberal state, and a blueprint for a renewal of
democracy, pluralism, and the rule of law.
