Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss in the Chinese-Speaking World:
Reorienting the Political examines the reception of Carl Schmitt
and Leo Strauss in China and Taiwan. The legacies of both Schmitt,
the German legal theorist and thinker who joined the Nazi party,
and Strauss, the German-Jewish classicist and political philosopher
who became famous after his emigration to the United States, are
highly controversial. Since the 1990s, however, these thinkers have
had a powerful resonance for Chinese scholars. Today, when Chinese
intellectuals debate the Chinese state, the future role of China in
the world, the liberal international order, and even the meaning of
Confucian civilization, they often employ Schmittian and Straussian
concepts like "the political," "friend-enemy," "state of
exception," "liberal education," and "natural right." The very
possibility of a genuine Chinese political theory is often thought
to be tied to the legacy of these two thinkers. This volume
explores this complex phenomenon with a cross-cultural and
interdisciplinary approach. The twelve essays in this volume are
written from a range of perspectives by philosophers, political
theorists, historians, and legal scholars from China, Germany,
Taiwan, and the United States.
