The Concept of the Political by Carl Schmitt

In this work, legal theorist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt argues that liberalism's basis in individual rights cannot provide a reasonable justification for sacrificing oneself for the state. The introduction highlights Schmitt's intellectual journey through the period of German history leading to the Hitlerian one-party state. It also includes Leo Strauss's analysis of Schmitt's thesis and a foreword placing Schmitt's work into contemporary context.
