The book, one of the classic texts of Law and Political Science, remains highly relevant in our times and was a challenge, if not a scandal, when it was published.
Grounding the Political in class struggle, it recognizes the existence of opposing social classes. It is a groundbreaking critique of liberalism, which -according to Schmitt- ideologically concealing the existence of class struggle undermines and endangers bourgeois hegemony.
The book was first published in German in 1932, at the time of the rise of Nazism, and is considered Schmitt's most important work, a milestone in the evolution of his political thought.
