Carl Schmitt
-Characteristic of Schmitt's artfully crafted prose is a shrewd
oscillation between the cold and the feverish, the academic and the
prophetic, the analytical and the mythical.... His books plait
together sober theoretical observations with near-ecstatic
political intimations. (Suggesting that the direction of world
history is at stake, he can make discussions of constitutional
technicalities glow incandescently.) ... Because of their mixture
of sober insight and apocalyptic pretension, his writings remain
arresting - and disquieting.- - Stephen Holmes, The New
Republic
