"If, as Carl Schmitt asserted in Political Theology, “all significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts,” what does that imply for political forms? This book, written immediately after Political Theology, addresses that question. Schmitt analyzes a political form that originated as theological but has adopted many different secular roles-the Roman Catholic Church. I have to say that Roman Catholicism and Political Form, even by Schmittian standards, is a difficult read. Nonetheless, it rewards close attention and thought, because what Schmitt says is, as all things Schmitt are, surprisingly relevant to our situation today." . . .
Nice review Mr Haywood! My best guess is that your next book for reviewing should be Fustel de Coulanges' "Ancient city", but I would be surprised if you haven't heard of it already.
I started reading it last year. Stopped, but I may return to it!
@@CharlesHaywood well although I risk of spoiling it with this remark, I should point out that if you want to to truly understand what Orthodox Christianity in reality and on the ground actually is you won't find it in Orthodox dogmas and whatnots, but in Fustel de Coulanges' "Ancient city". I will say no more.
@@cynicalskeptic Well, that certainly ups my chances of going back to it . . . .
@@CharlesHaywood I just finished reading this book a few months ago and I am an Orthodox Christian. I think the book is great for understanding the evolution of Greece and Rome, but don't see the specific connection he is referencing?
Ancient city blew my mind. Understanding it through Heidergerrs pov. Orthodox values are just a reaction of being.
Can you review Peter Zeihans "the end of the world is just the beginning"?
I am thinking about buying it, but am not sure if it is worth my time or not
Looks interesting. I will consider it.
Do you have a suggested reading list or maybe a top ten list?
No, but go to the main site and you can search by topic . . . .
Have you noticed the trend of young, right leaning American men joining or considering joining the Orthodox Church?
Anecdotally, yes (both from others and personally).
