 | The Enemy by Gopal Balakrishnan
The writings of Carl Schmitt form what is arguably the most disconcerting, original, and yet still unfamiliar body of twentieth-century political thought. In the English-speaking world, he is terra incognita, a name associated with Nazism, the author of a largely untranslated oeuvre forming no recognizable system, coming to us from a disturbing place and time in the form of fragments. THE ENEMY is a comprehensive intertextual reconstruction and analysis of all of Schmitt's major works presented in an arresting narrative form. The format reveals the complex ways in which his ideas took shape in the intertwining time lines of civil and world wars. AUTHOR: Gopal Balakrishnan
