Bendersky provides the only English-language translation of one
of Carl Schmitt's most controversial works. At the time of its
publication in 1934 and during the war and the post-war years, the
treatise was seen as a rationalization of the Nazi legal order.
With the renaissance of Schmitt studies beginning in the 1980s, the
man and his work, and this volume in particular, was reinterpreted.
While some maintained that it was a foundation of Nazi legal theory
and practice, others see it as a failed attempt at a conservative
counterweight to the most extreme tendencies in National Socialism.
Most see it in the context of Schmitt's intellectual growth and the
challenges of the era.
An extended introduction and notes trace out the development of
Schmitt's ideas as well as the various interpretations ehat have
emerged to explain his work. Given the importance of Schmitt's
ideas in modern political and judicial thought as well as its
impact on constitution making, this translation will make this
significant volume accessible to a wider readership of students and
scholars of twentieth century political and legal theory.
