Gereby, Gyorgy

2008 New German Critique

doi:10.1215/0094033X-2008-011

The analysis discusses the earliest phase of the debate on political theology between Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) and his former friend, the church historian and theologian Erik Peterson (1890-1960). In the 1930s Peterson challenged Schmitt's central tenet, the possibility of an analogy between the...

Frey, Christiane

2008 New German Critique

doi:10.1215/0094033X-2008-012

doi:10.1215/0094033X-2008-013

Lebovic, Nitzan

2008 New German Critique

doi:10.1215/0094033X-2008-015

This article addresses the strange reappearance of Carl Schmitt in the context of German Jewish thought after 1940.

Herrschaftszeiten! Theopolitical Profanities in the Face of Secularization

Wedemeyer, Arnd

2008 New German Critique

doi:10.1215/0094033X-2008-016

This article starts from the observation that Giorgio Agamben, in making the Roman sacratio the emblem for the modern political condition, passes over the peculiarities of the curse as a speech act. He suggests that Walter Benjamin offers the tools for such an analysis and hence for determining...

Lazier, Benjamin

2008 New German Critique

doi:10.1215/0094033X-2008-017

This essay traces the origins of the contemporary interest in “political theology” and focuses on the work of Leo Strauss, Gershom Scholem, and Jacob Taubes in particular. They offer three competing instrumentalizations of the concept; they alert us to a dimension of the problem thus far...
