„Dass die Luft die Erde frisst…“

Carl Schmitt for connoisseurs: These new studies—some previously unpublished, some revised—deal with research desiderata from a new collection of sources: correspondence with companions and critics, such as Feuchtwanger, Heidegger and Voegelin, as well as the chain of ‘Schmittians’, from Bilfinger and Lohmann to Böckenförde. It focuses on the Nazi internationalist and post-war legend as reflected in poetry, which Schmitt read against the grain of mainstream politics.
