William Rasch Book order

Focusing on Carl Schmitt's concept of political theology, William Rasch explores the secularization of medieval theological patterns rather than the controversies of the Weimar era. By situating Schmitt's ideas within a broader historical framework, the author highlights the relevance of these concepts in contemporary political discourse, providing a fresh perspective on the interplay between politics and theology without promoting theocratic intentions.

Focusing on the role of conflict in politics, the book argues for the significance of violence as a foundational element, suggesting that it holds logical and ontological precedence over the concept of peace. Through this lens, it challenges traditional views and invites readers to reconsider the dynamics between conflict and political structures.
