ABSTRACT The argument for the role of various crises of modernity in the totalitarian violence of the twentieth century is well known. At the heart, however, of Carl Schmitt's own role in this troubling history, lies a certain irony which complicates the reading, recognition and reckoning of his fearsome and confronting work. This paper aims to remedy that omission. Schmitt deliberately used irony to feign distance from his own deeply held attitudes as expressed and implied both in his work and through his actions. Paradoxically, nothing so foreshadows the Schmitt's intellectual fate than his own critique on the one hand, and embrace, on the other, of the uses and misuses of irony.

卡尔·施密特政治浪漫主义、布里班克家族和 Ex Captivitate Salus 中的讽刺形式

摘要 关于现代性的各种危机在 20 世纪极权主义暴力中的作用的争论是众所周知的。然而，卡尔施密特自己在这段令人不安的历史中所扮演的角色的核心是某种讽刺，它使阅读、认识和估计他可怕而具有挑战性的作品变得复杂。本文旨在弥补这一疏漏。施密特故意使用讽刺来假装与他在工作和行为中表达和暗示的根深蒂固的态度保持距离。矛盾的是，一方面，没有什么比施密特自己的批评更能预示施密特的智力命运，另一方面，他拥抱反讽的使用和误用。
