Glossarium

Abstract

This is another fragment of the continued publication of Carl Schmitt’s “Glossarium” — a posthumously appeared diary of the great German lawyer and political thinker. His main theme by the end of the August and the beginning of September, 1947 is the re-thinking of the concepts of war and international law in connection with some new events in politics and the development of military technology. Schmitt also mentions important themes of political theology: the concept of wonder and (through his references to Rudolf Sohm) the concept of charisma.
