Description
Book SynopsisAppearing here in English for the first time, Janus's Gaze is the culmination of Carlo Galli's ongoing critique of the work of Carl Schmitt where he finds the unifying thread of Schmitt's work to be his creation of the genealogy of modernity.
Trade Review"For many Schmitt scholars unable to read in Italian, the translation of Carlo Galli’s
Janus’s Gaze is a very welcome—and relatively long-awaited—development. . . . A must for anyone with an interest in
Schmittian thought and, more broadly, perhaps for anyone wishing to understand debates in contemporary political theory better." -- Ignas Kalpokas * Political Studies Review *
