The dialogues renew Schmitt�s engagement with the questions of political power and geo-politics that had been a persistent concern throughout his intellectual life. As a basis on which to think through the historical role of human agency in relation to power and its new geographies, the dialogues condense and rework key concepts in Schmitt�s political theory during a transitional period between his Weimar and fascist years to the post-war writings. In this book, Schmitt develops a new �dialectics� of modern power and an original understanding of the global spatial transformations of the Cold War period. Equally important, the dialogues anticipate the debates on the new geo-political possibilities and threats related to cosmic spaces, overpowering technological advances, and the existential predicament of the human in an increasingly multipolar world.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Law & PoliticsAuthor: Carl SchmittContributor: Andreas Kalyvas (Edited by), Federico Finchelstein (Edited by)Topic: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
