Ce înţeleg politologii atunci când vorbesc despre ,,piropolitică’’? Există două surse ce trebuie explorate pentru a înţelege despre ce vorbesc: în primul rând, ai de investigat întregul tărâm al teologiei politice, inclusiv panseurile lui Donoso Cortés despre liberalism, socialism și catolicism (ultimul fiind perceput ca Tradiţia însăşi) şi va trebui să studiezi bineînţeles temeinic textele de bază ale lui Carl Schmitt, (more…)
