J. Kameron Carter recently participated in a round table hosted by Columbia University’s Institute for Religion, Culture, and Pubic Life. The event focused on Carl Schmitt’s Political Theology at the 100th anniversary of its publication.
Written in the intense political and intellectual tumult of the early years of the Weimar Republic, Political Theology develops the distinctive theory of sovereignty that made Carl Schmitt one of the most significant and controversial political theorists of the twentieth century.
