Abstract
LOMBAARD, Christo. Weighing Schmitt's political theology anew: Implicit religion in politics. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2019, vol.75, n.3, pp.1-6. ISSN 2072-8050. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v75i3.5511.
Carl Schmitt, in a sense the initiator of Political Theology, proposed that all important political concepts are reinterpretations of or parallels to theological concepts. This insight is in this contribution described and applied to current political thought, for which it is valuable as modern democracies emerge from the secularism of modernism to a more fully self-aware post-secularism.
Keywords : politics; theology; Carl Schmitt; post-secularism; metaphysics and society; implicit religion; faith and democracy.
