German Conservatism in America: Morgenthau's Political Realism
Hans J. Morgenthau's "political realism" was shaped by Bismarck's Realpolitik and Weber's Führerdemokratie, but developed within the historical context of Weimar political science: between the authoritarian anti-liberalism of Carl Schmitt and the democratic socialism of Hermann Heller. In Germany Morgenthau adopted neither Schmitt's reduction of the concept of sovereignty to the state of exception, nor reformist legal optimism, but attempted to f…
Marcuse's Political Theory in the 1940s and 1950s
In 1940 Marcuse wrote: “Under the terror that now threatens the world the ideal constricts itself to one single and at the same rime common issue. Faced with fascist barbarism, everyone knows what freedom means...” The writings of other German refugees in the early 1940s are full of similar pronouncements. They are characteristic of the darkest years of the 20th century, when Hitler's armies marched on the Soviet Union, and it seemed for a moment…
Beyond Carl Schmitt: Political Theory in the Frankfurt School
You argue like Carl Schmitt!" This charge has long been considered slanderous within German leftist circles and could have resulted in political ostracism. Today things are somewhat different, but not too much. When Ellen Kennedy first insisted on Schmitt's influence on the Frankfurt School a couple of years ago in Ludwigsburg, she may not have been aware of die problem Schmitt poses in Germany, and thus may have been taken aback by the defensive…
Leftist Students of the Conservative Revolution: Neumann, Kirchheimer, & Marcuse
To discuss under this tide the early writings of authors, who a few years later would be numbered among the members of the exiled Institute for Social Research, is a kind of provocation. The political culture of the Weimar Republic was initially re-appraised in West Germany primarily in light of totalitarian theoretical principles. Later this picture changed to the extent that research abandoned the right-left equation. Should this progress, in v…
Anxiety and Politics: Neo-Conservatism and Critical Theory
In all major Western countries except France and Spain, conservative governments have come to power by proposing policies opposed to the interests of the majority of the people. This reversal challenges democratic legitimation processes since democratic consensus today is used to justify cutting back the welfare state, to reduce real income to strengthen inner and external security forces instead of developing public services. Apparantly, most pe…
Franz Neumann
Franz Neumann would have been 80 years old on May 23, 1980. It is no accident that this German-American lawyer and political scientist, killed in an auto wreck in 1954, has only very recently been receiving the attention his work deserves. A staunch opponent of National Socialism from the very beginning, he personally tackled the question of guilt in an almost self-tormenting manner. “Why do I love this country so much and yet also despise it?” h…
