The political philosophy of C. Schmitt: the importance of „Politische Romantik /

The aim of the dissertation is to prove that the contemporary neglect of Schmitt‘s early work „Political Romanticism“ (1919) is an erroneous position adopted by the majority of contemporary scholars. Without paying enough attention to the study of political romanticism, we can not understand the systematic nature of Schmitt‘s researches during the years 1919-1927. By focusing on the arguments put forward in „Political Romanticism“ we can achieve a new understanding of Schmitt‘s political philosophy. A detailed analysis of Schmitt‘s conception of political romanticism shows that „Political Romanticism“ has to be seen as a starting point of his systematic intellectual enterprise. The research shows that „Political Romanticism“ is the source of many of the most important conceptions of Schmitt‘s political philosophy. The idea about the close relationship of theological and political concepts was already formulated in this work in 1919. It was explicated in more detail in the following studies. Research has shown that Schmitt‘s conception of political theology should be understood as a philosophical depolyment of theological arguments. Political romanticism, political theology and the concept of the political are united by Schmitt‘s unorthodox Catholic perspective. Some inner incosistencies of Schmitt‘s conception of political romanticism are revealed in the dissertation.
