Political Theology / Epilogue / Notes / Bibliography / IndexReviewsThe Political Discourse of Carl Schmitt is one of the most ambitious monographs dedicated to Carl Schmitt on the international scale. Above all it's a systematic presentation of the different stratas - legal, political, theological - that make up his work and the complex links that spin a web between them. It brings to light the guiding lines, often invisible, of a systematic thinking of 'nomos' that supports a 'mystic of order'. -- Jean-Francois Kervegan, Professor of Philosophy, Pantheon-Sorbonne University This book is more than just a thorough and nuanced examination of one important theme in Carl Schmitt's work. It is an original and coherent attempt to identify the thread of continuity that runs through all of Schmitt's work and, in the process, to build a provocative case for Schmitt as a 'soldier for peace.' Anyone interested in Schmitt or political theology more generally will benefit from the wealth of scholarship represented here. -- William T. Cavanaugh, Professor of Theology, DePaul University Montserrat Herrero's *The Political Discourse of Carl Schmitt: A Mystic of Order* is a bold, passionate engagement with the work of arguably the boldest and most passionate of twentieth century political philosophers. Herrero argues more convincingly than her interpretive predecessors in any language for an intellectual continuity pervading Schmitt's long career. Moreover, the substance of the red thread of this continuity--Schmitt's fixation with political theology--is perhaps more clearly articulated here than ever before. Destined to be a controversial and enlightening interpretation, this book is a must read. -- John P.

McCormick, Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago In the vast and growing scholarship about Carl Schmitt, Herrero's book provides a new and insightful interpretation of his political theory and her book is an essential source for all students of Schmitt as well as other scholars interested in political theology. * VoegelinView * The Political Discourse of Carl Schmitt is one of the most ambitious monographs dedicated to Carl Schmitt on the international scale.
