Almost 100 years have passed since Carl Schmitt gave his
controversial definition of the sovereign as the one who decides on
the exception in his by now classic Political Theology (1922).
Written at a time of crisis, the book sought to establish the
institution of sovereignty, not from within a well-functioning
governing machine of the state in a situation of normality, but
rather as the minimal condition of state order in the moment of
governmental breakdown. The book appeared anachronistic already at
its publication. Schmitt went against Max Weber’s popular thesis
defining secularization as a disenchantment of the world
characterizing modern societies, and instead suggested that the
concepts of modern politics mirrored a metaphysics originating in
Christianity and the church. Nevertheless, the concept of political
theology has in recent years seen a revival as a field of research
in philosophy as well as political theory, as studies in the
theological sub-currents of politics, economics and sociality
proliferate.
