Abstract:
Traces the negative role of Judaism in Schmitt's historical-political thought. Not only in the Nazi period, but also before and after it - most virulently, in fact, in "Glossarium" (1991), a collection of jottings from the years 1947-51 - Schmitt sees in the Jewish mode of thought, in the Jewish concept of abstract, universal law, the opposite of his "nomos" which is bound to an order and a place. He depicts the Jews as hastening the (in his eyes) unfortunate transformation of the state ruled by a concrete sovereign into the modern, liberal, constitutional, "neutral" state, and as exploiting the conflict between other nations in order to subjugate them to themselves.
