LOPEZ DE LIZAGA, José Luis. Dialogue and Conflict: Carl Schmitt's Critique of Liberalism. Diánoia [online]. 2012, vol.57, n.68, pp.113-140. ISSN 0185-2450.
This article analyses Carl Schmitt's arguments against liberal democracy, and questions the potential of these arguments for contemporary progressive political thought. The article shows the conceptual connection of the schmittian concept of the political with the transformation of the liberal State into a totalitarian State. Subsequently it tries to show that the main premise of Schmitt's critique of liberalism is false, namely the belief that it is impossible to reach a dialogical and peaceful solution to political conflicts, either by agreement or by compromise. Finally the article includes some reflections on the political significance of contemporary "neo-schmittianism".
