Finis Germania; "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, and the author of a largely untranslated oeuvre forming no recognizable system, which comes to us from a disturbing place and time in the form of fragments."
