The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy offers a powerful criticism
of the inconsistencies of representative democracy. Described both
as "the Hobbes of our age" and as "the philosophical godfather of
Nazism," Carl Schmitt was a brilliant and controversial political
theorist whose doctrine of political leadership and critique of
liberal democratic ideals distinguish him as one of the most
original contributors to modern political theory. The Crisis of
Parliamentary Democracy offers a powerful criticism of the
inconsistencies of representative democracy. First published in
1923, it has often been viewed as an attempt to destroy
parliamentarism; in fact, it was Schmitt's attempt to defend the
Weimar constitution. The introduction to this new translation
places the book in proper historical context and provides a useful
guide to several aspects of Weimar political culture. The Crisis of
Parliamentary Democracy is included in the series Studies in
Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.
