The Invisible Enemy as Absolute Enemy: What Can Carl Schmitt Teach us about War against a Virus?
Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence. 2022. Vol. 6. No. 2. P. 125–142.
Through a discussion of Carl Schmitt's work this paper explores the theoretical implications of a war fought against a non-human enemy and suggests that Schmitt's work provides a useful framework of analysis for understanding the martial rhetoric that has surrounded Covid-19 policies. In Schmitt’s work we can identify the intricate relation between the absolutization and dehumanization of the enemy on the one hand and the dissolution of the distinction between the public and private sphere on the other. Schmitt’s warnings about the dangers of a global war in the name of humanity prove relevant to the war against a virus.

The article examines V.I. Lamansky’s civilizational concept, in which he argued for the inevitability of a major (world) war in Europe.

The most detailed description of this world war is found in Lamansky’s ...

Шмитт К., М.: Ад Маргинем Пресс, 2026.
В этой книге (1942) Шмитт излагает двенадцатилетней дочери свое видение всемирной истории как драматичной борьбы между земной и морской стихиями, схватки библейских чудищ Бегемота и Левиафана. На этом построена драматургия нового исторического нарратива. В его центре — судьбоносное событие решительного коллективного выбора в пользу одной из стихий. О нем свидетельствует планетарная пространственная революция XVII–XVIII веков, а также новый «номос» — основополагающий закон присвоения территорий, их дележа и последующей экономической ...
