Dass die Luft die Erde frisst...'

Carl Schmitt for connoisseurs: These new, partly unpublished, partly revised studies address research desiderata based on new sources. Correspondences with companions and critics such as Feuchtwanger, Heidegger, and Voegelin, as well as the chain of "Schmittians": from Bilfinger and Lohmann to Böckenförde. A thematic focus is on the NS international lawyer and his post-war legends in the mirror of literature, which Schmitt read canonically against the mainstream.
