The Political Discourse of Carl Schmitt. A Mystic of Order is the new book by Montserrat Herrero, principal investigator of the project 'Religion and Civil Society' of the Institute for Culture and Society and professor of political Philosophy . The volume has been published by the prestigious American publishing house Rowman & Littlefield International.

Carl Schmitt is a figure core topic in modern political thought. Discussion of his work often focuses on specific elements or themes within his texts. This book offers a broad discussion of Carl Schmitt's speech and offers a new perspective on his contribution, presenting the idea of Nomos of the Earth as the idea core topic that organizes speech legal and political.

This book creates a 'reverse genealogy' of Schmitt's theoretical system, starting with his legal and political concept of 'Nomos' in order to reconstruct his understanding of order.

It connects the different themes that Carl Schmitt developed throughout his intellectual career, which have generally been addressed separately by scholars: legal theory, the concept of the political, the theory of International Office and political theology.

The volume considers Carl Schmitt's work in a unitary way, including writings hitherto unknown to English-speaking scholars; former three- or four-page journals, newspaper articles, manuscripts or lectures, and festschrifts (book in honor of a respected person). It provides a balanced analysis of the full complexity of Schmitt's political speech .
