Alternative title:

Criticism of unreality in the conservatism of Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss

Subject and Keywords:

Schmitt, Carl   Strauss, Leo   conservatism   political thought   Germany

Abstract:

In this article I have tried to demonstrate that in both conservative thinkers one may find a belief in the unreal nature of today’s world which is either a realized utopia or utopia being realized. It is a world in which the situation of clarity about the most important issues is avoided, fundamental questions are repealed and the choice between the essential objectives of life is challenged. Relying on several early and late lesser-known or unknown works of both thinkers I present the specifics of their conservative criticism of unreality.
