Resumen de Die politische Theologie von Carl Schmitt
The fundamental thesis of Schmitt's philosophy of politics was the idea of an ethically homogeneous society in which all members unanimously obey the authority. According to Schmitt such an ideal society requires as the basis of any political action a uniform creed: one god, one people, one king. Schmitt explains all political conceptions as a secularisation of these original monotheistic beliefs. Democracy lacks the unity necessary to reach the common good. Schmitt admires the Catholic Church as the prototype of a homogeneous society headed by a definite authority. This parallelism of the Catholic Church and the secular state can, according to Schmitt, only be realised in a racially unified state. In this manner Schmitt's theology of politics runs into racial nationalism.
