The centuries-old dispute about the nature of power between such classics of political thought as Machiavelli and Montesquieu, Hobbes and Schmitt, does not lose its relevance today. To understand the subtleties and nuances of this conversation will help one of the leading experts in political philosophy, Alexander Filippov. Carl Schmitt is one of the most prominent and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, who had a huge influence on the development of political philosophy. This edition presents Schmitt's seminal study of the phenomenon of dictatorship, covering a period of European history beginning in the sixteenth century. Schmitt's study provides insight into the nature and dynamics of twentieth-century dictatorial regimes, the paradoxes of sovereignty, and the prospects for democracy.
