Der Politischen Theologie kann man sich auf drei Arten nähern, wobei sich diese hermeneutischen Zugänge nach ihrem jeweiligen Verhältnis von Politikwissenschaft und Theologie unterscheiden lassen: ein erster Zugang betont die substantielle Beziehung zwischen den beiden Disziplinen und ihrem jeweiligen Gehalt; ein zweiter Zugang unterstreicht die begriffsgeschichtliche Abkunft der Politikwissenschaft von der Theologie; und ein dritter Zugang legt Wert auf das rhetorische Moment innerhalb der Politischen Theologie. Während die ersten beiden Ansätze in der Vergangenheit in großem Maße Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen haben, wurde das rhetorische Moment nur selten Gegenstand eingehender Untersuchungen. Der vorliegende Aufsatz betont dagegen die rhetorische Dimension der Politischen Theologie und verweist auf deren häufige Versuche, mittels metaphorischer Bezüge auf "Theologie" im politischen und wissenschaftlichen Streit zu obsiegen.

The present article starts off with a lecture of cultural theory as the handling of a rupture, in which the referenda in France and the Netherlands take their part, and that have led to describing Europe rather as radically changing than consisting of a firm shape and structure. Revolutionary or reactionary in that context are expressions that mean both everything, all, nobody and nothing, and Europe's transition into what exactly often posed. Haltern, for example, putting forward a reactivation of normative resources regarding cultural theoretical jurisprudence. With that, he parallels the tendency to recommend cultural sciences as fundamental judicial science, orienting himself on Paul Kahn's draft on judicial culturalism. Falling back on a cultural theoretical analysis is no dispensation for accuracy. Questions regarding judicial genealogy and architecture can be answered neither clearly nor at will. Contributions emerge over and over, with different stories, from different backgrounds and different places, an accumulation of the different European cultures. Which leads to the situation that cultural theory remains faced with the impossibility of its own terminology, covering everything from yeast bacteria, to Hooligans, to Haute Couture. In part two, three, four and five, a treatment of cultural theory as a double sided enterprise; cultural theory as the new political theology; cultural theory as cultural theory; and cultural theory as the theory of abundance respectively.

Till the Briand-Kellogg-treaty (1928) wars of aggression and conquest were based on the ins belli, which legitimated sovereign powers to make war in the interest of their foreign policies. However, in the Catholic Conquista in the 16th century Strong arguments restricting the jus ad bellum were introduced by Spanish scholars of theology. In this essay different approaches to restrict states right of wars are analysed in texts of classic authors on War and Conquest in the time of: the Medici- Dynasty in Italy (Machiavelli), Carlos V of Spain (Vitoria), Louis XIV's political influence on France and in Prussia during the French revolution (Kant). In the early liberal period the moral and civil arguments against war of aggression reached a climax in challenging Napoleon (Benjamin Constant). Mathias Erzberger, a German politician in the foreign ministry in Berlin with responsibility for propaganda during the I World War, hoped to win sympathy of the public in neutral states by underlying efforts of German self defense instead of military invincibility advocated by the headquarters.
