Taking Nomos: Carl Schmitt's Philology Unbound.
- Authors
STERGIOPOULOU, KATERINA
- Abstract
The essay examines the idea of Nomos, a foundational legal principle developed by German legal theorist and philosopher Carl Schmitt in the mid-twentieth century, highlighting how Schmitt's writing oscillates between legal and philological scholarship as it defines its terms and concepts. Issues raised include Schmitt's insistence of a connection between law and landownership, his reliance on ancient Greek philosopher Pindar, and his interest in the German Romantic writer Friedrich Hölderlin.
