Political philosophy, public law, theory of the stateGerman1888–1985
"The sovereign is he who decides on the exception."
Carl Schmitt was a German jurist and political philosopher and one of the most influential theorists of public law and politics in the twentieth century. He profoundly influenced contemporary political theory through concepts such as the political, the friend–enemy distinction, and the theory of sovereign exception. His works remain the subject of debate and criticism in political philosophy, law, and theories of the state.
