Modern State, State of Exception, Political Theology, The Origin of German Tragic DramaAbstract
There is a particular ressonance between the thinking of Walter Benjamin and that of the german jurist Carl Schmitt, including the fact that both analyse the 16th and 17th centuries in order to understand the 20th. Regarding this fact, the article attempts to clarify some themes that lead Schmitt´s work, i.e that State of Exception, that of theologization of politics, the critique of parlamentarism as support of the Modern State, the tension between democracy and dictatorship, to explain how the dialog between the two thinkers occurs, seeking thus for a better understanding of key works of Benjamin, specially The Origin of German Tragic DramaDownloads
