Carl Schmitt e Leo Strauss: dialogue between conservatives beyond liberalism?

Abstract

The article discusses the interpretation of Leo Strauss on "The concept of the political" of Carl Schmitt in the text "Notes on Carl Schmitt, The Concept of the Political." It aims to analyze the arguments against Schmitt and his comments on liberalism. Strauss's criticisms are exposed in some central arguments and, from them, we intend to draw up a Schmitt text reinterpretation: the thesis that the lawyer has a political realism linked to immanence, more precisely, the conflict relationship as originating the order. This approach can be described as a monistic thesis in political theory. In conclusion, we emphasize the abandonment of transcendent Veritas to the validity of the political order and the difference between the authors of the possibility of a post-liberal policy.
