This article situates Carl Schmitt's The Tyranny of Values (1960/1967/1979) within the context of Schmitt's 1940s and 1950s op-ed campaign for full amnesty for Nazi war criminals as well as the context of the Veit Harlan trials and the 1958 Lüth judgment of the German Constitutional Court. The article further examines the revisions to Schmitt's 1967 version of the text in the light of Karl Löwith's criticisms of Schmitt in an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung from 1964. The article argues that The Tyranny of Values is a work of post-Second World War Nazi apologetics, in which Nazi racial theory can be seen being put to polemical ends in the 1960s and 1970s. The article concludes with broader reflections on the relation of Schmitt's The Tyranny of Values to Nazi discourse in the aftermath of the Second World War and the history of Nazism post-1945.

间接与暴政的修辞：卡尔施密特的价值暴政1960-1967

这篇文章将卡尔施密特的价值观的暴政（1960/1967/1979）在施密特 1940 年代和 1950 年代全面赦免纳粹战犯的专栏运动以及维特哈兰审判和 1958 年的背景下吕特德国宪法法院的判决。本文根据 Karl Löwith 在 1964 年《法兰克福汇报》上一篇文章中对施密特的批评，进一步研究了对施密特 1967 年文本的修订。文章认为价值观的暴政是第二次世界大战后纳粹辩护的作品，其中可以看到纳粹种族理论在 1960 年代和 1970 年代被置于争论的结尾。文章最后对施密特的关系进行了更广泛的反思价值观的暴政第二次世界大战后的纳粹话语和 1945 年后的纳粹主义历史。
