Through a sustained critical engagement, ranging over Schmittian texts, including the lesser known, from the 1920s to the 1970s, the book elaborates three main themes that preoccupied Schmitt: \u003ci\u003eorder\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ecrisis\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eredemption\u003c\/i\u003e. In times of crisis, as with the one we are currently experiencing, we are faced with the dilemma of either shoring up the current political and legal order-through ever more authoritarian measures-or radically transforming it. Redemption, in the full theological sense of the word, thus implies the possibility of a new understanding of ethics and politics, aimed at creating a more just world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039802425687,"sku":"9781438493442","price":65.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781438493442.jpg?v=1750944901","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/order-crisis-and-redemption-9781438493442","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
