Politicka estetika (o tragicnom i fiktivnom u politici)
In: Politicka misao, Band 32, Heft 2, S. 167-187
The author analyzes a late essay by Carl Schmitt, Hamlet or Hecuba, as Schmitt's attempt at an aesthetic recapitulation of his entire theoretical & political convictions. It is significant that Schmitt does not make any adjustments in his theoretical & political opinions, despite the historical failure of his ideas & despite the accumulated historical experience. The author highlights & interprets those aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy & Scheler's early phenomenology & anthropology that permanently influenced Schmitt &, consequently, his interpretation of Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, ie, Nietzsche's & Scheler's definition of tragic & the fictional in human activity. 12 References.
